AnswerOne current description is that it represents the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

However, this symbol was around many centuries before Christianity ever existed. It has much older meanings.

Before Christianity, the symbol may be described as pagan and most often related with the Maiden the Mother and the Crone, representing stages of life. As Christianity spread over the world, existing symbols were used to assimilate the people to their new religion.
