Never Ending Knot

Used in Ethiopia Crosses, never ending knots called labyrinthine meanders with no beginning or end symbolize unity, eternity, everlasting existence, the order of life and the structure of the Church and are also believed to provide a magical and spiritual protection for the wearer by attracting malevolent beings who, fascinated with this puzzle, become lost and confused and ultimately trapped for eternity.
