Proud to be Irish

Made by Tatyana Kapush

The flag of Ireland is green, white and orange.

The green represents Catholics,

the orange is for Protestants,

and the white symbolizes the hope for peace between the two groups.

The harp is a very popular instrument in Ireland, and is used as a symbol of Ireland.

Harpists and poets were important story tellers in Ireland, and were supported financially by the nobility and the wealthy that lived there.

As in many cultures, Ireland's culture was passed down through their music.

Queen Elizabeth I issued a proclamation

to hang Irish harpists

and destroy their instruments

to prevent insurrection.

The symbol of the harp can be found on coins, documents, flags, and uniforms and used as other types of decorations symbolic of the country of Ireland.

Meet Ireland

Ireland is misty, rainy and humid, which makes it a lush, green place. So "Emerald Isle" became Ireland's nickname, and the color green became Ireland's symbolic color.

The Giant’s Causeway

is a mass of stone columns that extend from a cliff in Northern Ireland and disappear under the sea towards Scotland.

They were formed by a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago. However, the ancients believed it to be the work of a giant named Fin M’Coul .

Castles and ruins are found all over Ireland.

The Blarney Stone is a favorite tourist attraction when folks visit Ireland.

This stone is a part of Blarney Castle in the village of Blarney in Ireland.

Those who kiss the famous Blarney Stone receive the ability to charm people by what they say, as well as to convince people

to do what you want them to do.

There is a story told that an old woman rewarded a king who saved her from drowning by giving the king the ability to be eloquent

if he kissed the Blarney stone.

The stone itself was a gift from Scotland as a reward for support in the Battle of Bannockburn.

In modern times the word "blarney" is used for people who talk a lot of flattery and nonsense.

St. Patrick combined the circle shape of the sun with the Christian cross

to make the design of the Celtic cross

which is such an important symbol of Irish and Celtic Christianity still today.

Who was St. Patrick?

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland.

He converted many Irish to Christianity in the fifth century.

St. Patrick incorporated traditional Celtic symbols, like the bonfire and the sun , into his Christian teachings.

St. Patrick died on March 17 , circa 462.

St. Patrick’s Day is the saint’s feast day and has evolved from a religious holiday to a worldwide celebration .

He used the shamrock, a three-leaved clover which grows all over the island,

to explain the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit

are each separate elements of just one entity.

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in towns and cities right across the globe,

but it's probably fair to say that nowhere can the festivities

match the excitement and atmosphere of St. Patrick's Day in Ireland.

In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day is more of a religious holiday similar to Christmas and Easter. Many Irish people start the day by going to mass . After that people flock to their local village or town to see the annual Saint Patrick's Day parade – and this is where the real celebrations begin!

With grand parades, community feasts, charity show, the mass,

St Patrick's Day is celebrated in Ireland with great gusto.

• The shamrock, which was also called the "seamroy" by the Celts, was a sacred plant in ancient Ireland because it symbolized the rebirth of spring. As the English began to seize Irish land and make laws against the use of the Irish language many Irish began to wear the shamrock as a symbol of their pride in their heritage and their displeasure with English rule.

The Irish believe that the shamrock brings good luck.

People wear green in their hair.

Artists draw shamrock designs on people's cheeks as a cultural sign, including tourists.

The St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin, Ireland is part of a five-day festival.

With bands, music, dance, shamrock, leprechauns, green coloured clothing

and loads of power packed performance, the Irish parade on Saint Patrick's Day is a sight to behold!

Almost everything in Ireland is closed on Saint Patrick's Day with the exception of pubs and restaurants.

Many Irish people wear a bunch of shamrocks ("three-leaf clover") on their lapels or caps on this day or green, white, and orange badges

(after the colors of the Irish flag).

St. Patrick's Day is with us,

The day when all that's seen

To right and left and everywhere

Is green, green, green!

What's good luck on Saint Patrick's Day?:

Finding a four-leaf clover (that's double the good luck it usually is).

Wearing green. (School children started this tradition of their own -- they used to pinch classmates who don't wear green on this holiday).

The parades, shamrocks, and green beer

are provided primarily for tourists. In fact, it has turned out to be one of the most celebrated events in Ireland

and a major tourist attraction.

The dresses worn by women are similar to the

traditional Irish peasant dress of the 8th century AD.

They are decorated with hand-embroidered Celtic designs

based on the Book of Kells and Irish stone crosses.

I'll wear a four-leaf shamrock

In my coat, the glad day through,

For my father and mother are Irish

And I am Irish too!

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by the Irish people and increasingly by many of non-Irish descent

(usually in Australia, North America, and Ireland), hence the phrase, "Everyone wants to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day.“

THE LEPRECHAUN

Another symbol used for decorations during St. Patrick's Day is the leprechaun. The word "leprechaun" means small body,

and describes a little elf-like man all dressed in green that is dressed in a green hat and has buckles on his black shoes.

Leprechauns are said to live alone and make shoes for a living. Their prized possession is a pot of gold.

Only they know where the pot of gold is, though many a person has tried to find it.

People, according to legend, can get a leprechaun to come out of hiding by pounding a hammer,

which sounds like a shoemaker at work

and attracts the leprechaun.

Many means are used to persuade the leprechaun to tell where his pot of gold is hidden,

but if you catch a leprechaun,

don't take your eyes off of him for even a second.

If you do, he will disappear.

An Irish blessing :

“ May you always have...

Walls for the winds,

A roof for the rain

Tea beside the fire, Laughter to cheer you

Those you love near you

And all your heart might desire.”
