    There's a reason why the three leaf shamrock is an emblem of Ireland. According to Christian beliefs, Saint Patrick (who converted the Irish to Christianity) used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to Irish Christian converts. He used each leaf to represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three leaves of the shamrock are also said to stand for faith, hope, and love. Come back soon to Ireland we miss you!

      Yes, the shamrock was used bt St. Patrick to illustrate the concept of the three in one, the father, son and Holy spirit when he brought Christianity to Ireland according to legend.
      Don't know why the four leaf clover is often seen on American St. Patrick's Day cards. It nakes no sense.

    I just came back from a two and half week stay in Ireland; and the tips from your previous posts helped to round out planning for what to look out for in Galway, our way south to Killarney, and traveling back to Dublin. I'm definitely going back but in a better shoulder season outside of a major holiday to spend more time on the south west side of Ireland.

    If you're going back to Ireland you should check out Waterford, Irelands Oldest City, founded by the Vikings in the 9th Century. Attractions include (in no particular order): Tramore, Reginalds Tower, The Greenway, Dunmore East, The Comeragh Mountains, Waterford Castle, The Bishops Palace, The Museum of Time, Ardmore, The Cliff House Hotel, Waterford Crystal, The Copper Coast, Dungarvan, etc... Happy to send you more details if you're interested! Love your videos and I think you'd really love Waterford based on what I've seen of your travels so far.

      The Vikings came late to the party in Waterford. The local Gaelic clans the O Felans, MacGraths and O'Healys, all from the Decies royal dynasty, had been ruling Waterford and its surrounds since before 2AD, sailing out of several ports on the Waterford coast to trade with Spain, France and Portugal as well as up and down Ireland's east and west coasts.

    I went to Kilmainham Gaol with my daughter after watching your video, we are from Dublin and we found it excellent. Children from about your 5th grade/5th class learn all about the 1916 Easter rising and the executions which gave rise to our Independence. There’s a song you will like, especially after your visit there called “Grace” by the Dubliners, the day before Joseph Mary Plunkett was executed he was allowed to marry Grace in the chapel there, you probably heard the story on the tour. So sad. Again kids in our 5th grade have learned that song.

      @chrisplusmelissa  Рік тому +2

      @@mewarner84 We haven't been there in May, but my best guess is that you should have layers, leather shoes (or shoes that don't let the water in too easily), and an umbrella. It didn't rain all that much when we were there (August - October), but when it did, the charming, uneven, cobblestoned surfaces tended to create a lot of puddles. Back to the layers, in "balmy" August, there were times we wore multiple layers.
