The Dara Celtic Knot is one of a number of Celtic symbols for strength and inner strength. The symbol comes from the Gaelic word 'Doire', which means 'Oak Tree’. It was also used on a variety of Celtic shields (made of Oak wood, no less.)

The patch also has a band of the Triquetra knot in the background, which symbolizes the three stages of life – youth, adulthood and old age.

The patch has a metallic gold thread for the yellow-gold color.
