Ellan Vannin

Manx Gaelic for Isle of Man

"The Island is centrally located between England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In fact it's in the middle of a line drawn from Lands End to John O'groats, the most northerly and southerly points in mainland Britain. The Island is named after the ancient sea god Mannanan. As with the Greek 'Poseidon' and Latin 'Neptune', Mannanan is often depicted holding a triskelion or three pointed spear. Perhaps this is the true origin of the Manx three legs symbol as seen on the island's flag. It is, in it's various forms, a very ancient and universal symbol and was used to signify the unity of the truine - the spirit of Three in One, an evolutionary principle much older than Christianity."
