Symbols of Ireland
St. Patrick
St. Patrick, the man who converted the Irish to Christianity, is the most famous Irishman of all time. The Irish are not sure where their Patron Saint was born or where he is buried, but they all know the day he died, March 17. On that day, the Irish worldwide celebrate the holiday named in his honor.
The Harp
The Harp, of the small portable type played by Celtic minstrels, is the oldest official symbol of Ireland. Though not as recognizable as the Shamrock, the Harp is widely used. It appears on Irish coins, the presidential flag, state seals, uniforms, and official documents. But, the Harp is most often associated with Guinness, which adopted the instrument as its trademark in 1862.
The Shamrock
The Shamrock is undoubtedly the most identifiable symbol of Ireland. Shamrock comes from the Gaelic Shamrock, a word that refers to the plant’s three leaves. Legend has it that during a religious debate with the Druid priests, St. Patrick plucked the Shamrock to demonstrate the mysteries of the Christian Trinity - three leaves held together by a single stem. Whether or not this story is true, the Shamrock is regarded as the national plant of Ireland and always worn on St. Patrick’s Day.
The Irish Flag
The Irish tricolor made its debut in 1848. It was based on the French tricolor, however, the colors were altogether Irish. One outside band was made green, the color that had long been used as the symbol of Christian majority. The other outside band, a stripe of orange, was chosen to represent the Protestant minority. And the middle band of white represented their unity.
