  2. IRELAND

  3. Christmas in Ireland • In Irish (or Gaelic) Christmas is 'Nollaig', Santa Claus is known as 'San Nicolas' (Saint Nicholas) or 'Davidic an Nolan' (Father Christmas) and Happy/Merry Christmas is 'Knolling Shona Dhoti'. Happy/Merry Christmas in lots more languages

  4. How Do the Irish Say “Merry Christmas”? How We Say It How They Say It • Merry Christmas • Kala Christougenna • or Καλά Χριστούγεννα

  5. Important Facts • Your text here • The wren is one of the smallest birds in the UK and Ireland, but a has a very loud song and is sometimes called the 'king of all birds'. This is because of the legend of a little wren who rode on the top of an eagle's head and boasted he had 'flown higher than an eagle'. Wren's were hunted for many years throughout Europe in medieval times. • The Feast of the Epiphany (January 6th) is also celebrated as 'NollaignamBean' or Women's Christmas. Traditionally the women get the day off and the men do the housework and cooking! The Women meet in each other's homes to sew and chat. It is becoming more popular and many Irish women now get together on the Sunday nearest Epiphany, to have tea and cakes, to gossip and to enjoy each other's company!

  6. Ireland Facts I first visited Ireland in 1975, when it was a poor country disconnected from the modern world. You may be surprised to find that today, it’s one of the wealthiest nations on earth! (or, at least, it was until the current recession hit) I hope the facts about Ireland and articles here will show you lots of subtle ways that Irish culture stays strong, even if it’s hidden a beneath the surface more than it once was. Along the way, you won’t find flying shamrocks and dancing leprechauns here. Irish culture is more surprising – and more fun - when you look past the kitsch imagery.

  7. Flag Reason • three equal vertical bands of green (hoist side), white, and orange; officially the flag colors have no meaning, but a common interpretation is that the green represents the Irish nationalist (Gaelic) tradition of Ireland; orange represents the Orange tradition (minority supporters of William of Orange); white symbolizes peace (or a lasting truce) between the green and the orange

  8. The End That’s all Folks
