| Ukrainian National Symbols National Flag National Emblem Tryzub (Trident), Triytsia (Trinity) or Trysuttya (Three- Substances or Three- Meanings) is an ancient Ukrainian religious (pre- christian), national and state symbol. Nowadays it is the official Coat of Arms of Ukraine. It was also the state symbol of Ukrainian Peoples' Republic (1917-1920) and Kyiv Rus' (8th-13th century) since King Volodymyr the Great. But this sign has much deeper roots. The symbol variations are present in the number of cultures and religions influenced by Oriana-Ukraina including the most European and some of the Middle East cultures both modern and antique. Tryzub is one of the basic universal symbols meaning three substances forming the Universe: astral water - the female basis (right part of the Tryzub), astral fire - the male basis (left part of the Tryzub) and the Child - the Universe itself (the middle part of the Tryzub). All three in the unbreakable unity. Do you remember Plato quoting from the ancient source: "triangle is the basis of everything..." Home |
