Claddagh

Claddagh is the Irish symbol of ‘Love, Loyalty and Friendship’. The hands signify friendship, the heart love, and the crown loyalty.

The word Claddagh  (Clá-dá)  comes from the Irish word ‘an Cladach’, which means ‘the shore’.  Claddagh is actually a fishing village in Galway where the River Corrib enters Galway Bay and back in the day it was just outside the city walls of Galway.  It is one of the oldest fishing villages in Ireland and locals would have sold their catch at the fish market across the river at Spanish Arch.

The Claddagh symbol that we now know is the distinctive design of the famous Claddagh ring, which was traditionally used in the village of Claddagh as a wedding ring and in modern times is often used internationally as a wedding ring and also as an engagement or friendship ring.

Shamrock

While the Harp is the official emblem of Ireland, the shamrock is probably the most recognised symbol of Ireland. A variant of white clover, Shamrock comes from the Irish meaning of ‘young clover’, which symbolises the rebirth of spring. The Shamrock was a sacred plant in ancient Ireland, the Druids believed by carrying a shamrock, they could ward off evil spirits and danger.  Also, the three leaves of the shamrock was likened to the ancient goddess Danu, who was referred to as the maiden, mother and crone of Ireland. It is believed that St. Patrick used the three leaves of the Shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity, i.e. God (the Father), Jesus (the Son) and the Holy Spirt, when he was trying to convert pagan Celts to Christianity.
