The harp is also a very important Irish symbol. In fact, it was so Irish, the British feared it would spark nationalism. Therefore, they banned all harps from the land - and executed all harp players!
The 'shamrock' is Ireland's most important symbol. Its three leaves stand for the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Ghost), linking it to St. Patrick.
Ireland, as Britain, has a lively 'pub culture'. The most famous Irish drink is Guinness, a stout beer.
Legend has it that in Ireland, at the end of a rainbow, you will find a pot of gold.
Legend has it that the reason there are no snakes in Ireland, is because St. Patrick drove them all into the sea!

St. Patrick is the PATRON SAINT (patroonheilige; een soort religieuze mascotte) of Ireland.
1
St. Patrick lived during the 4th and 5th century.
2
He was originally from Wales, but was kidnapped by Irish pirates when he was 16. He was brought to Ireland to work as a slave. He escaped back to Britain after six years.
4
Ireland has been a Catholic nation ever since. Protestants came much later, when Britain sent Scottish lords to Ireland in an attempt to tame the wild country.
6
To this day, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide on the 17th of March.
7
He returned to Ireland when he grew up, where he became a bishop and spread the Catholic faith.
