The Irish have a wonderful way with words and in a few words they express some very wise meanings. The meaning of the Irish Blessing is to see the positive side of a bad situation, or to celebrate the best parts of a happy situation. They were more commonly used in wedding ceremonies, family gatherings or any special occasion. Irish Blessings date back to pre-Christian times when traveling bards offered blessing services to the clans throughout Ireland. The blessings were based firmly in nature and the environment. Over the centuries, there have been countless Blessings to cover almost any life event.
The giving of an Irish Blessing is to give something of your heart, your emotions and positive energy to those that are in need of a positive boost to our mental and physical wellbeing. What better way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day and all things Irish, then an Irish Blessing worked in Green Redwork? This Irish Blessing is not just limited to St Patrick’s Day, but would also make a thoughtful gift to anyone to display all year round.
