The three hares symbol is a simple yet effective
design found in many countries and cultures. The symbol is always based on an
everlasting circle of 3 hares following each other sharing only three ears
running in an eternal circle.
The hare is strongly represented in world mythology
and from ancient times has had divine associations. Its elusiveness and unusual
behaviour, particularly at night, have reinforced its reputation as a magical
creature. The hare was believed to have mystical links to the female cycle and
to the moon, which governed it.
The symbol is found
in Pagan Christian, Buddhist and Islamic imagery.
Perhaps it is as a symbol of femininity and
fertility that we may understand the three hares. It is significant that the
three hares bosses are often put side by side in Western European churches with
the Green Man, another ancient archetype of fertility.
There are examples
of three hares motifs in glass, stone wood and tiles throughout the UK, Europe
and into Asia. The three hares motif may have travelled from east to west along
the Silk Road. In the medieval period, precious silks from the Orient, many
woven with gold thread, were used in western churches for wrapping holy relics,
vestments, and altar cloths etc It is known that designs from these silks
influenced medieval artists and church craftsmen.
