      <image:title>Irish Symbols - Irish Ogham Alphabet</image:title>
      <image:caption>A gift from the Celtic god Ogmios, or the god of eloquence. Ogham is an ancient alphabet that appeared in Ireland at least 1,600 years ago. It was used to inscribe primitive Irish onto stone monuments, the oldest known form of the Gaelic languages. The true origin of the alphabet remains a complete mystery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Irish Symbols - Tricolor Flag</image:title>
      <image:caption>This flag, used in 1848, symbolizes hope and peace. The green color on represents the native people of Ireland (most of whom are Roman Catholic); the orange color represents the British supporters of William of Orange who settled in Northern Ireland in the 17th century (most of whom are Protestant). The white middle stripe symbolizes a wish for harmony and unity between the two.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Irish Symbols - Celtic Horse</image:title>
      <image:caption>The horse is probably the animal most strongly associated with Celtic culture with religious and mystical associations. The horse was so important to the Celts it was associated with the sun god, who often appeared as a horse with a human face. Perhaps the best-known horse deity of the Celts was the Goddess Epona, the horse-mother, a goddess of warriors who had the honor of becoming the only Celtic goddess worshiped within the borders of Rome.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Irish Symbols - St Brigid Cross</image:title>
      <image:caption>This cross is traditionally made from rushes or straw at the beginning of February to honor Brigid. It is then hung in the home and is said to protect the house from fire.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Irish Symbols - Shamrock</image:title>
      <image:caption>The word shamrock seamróg comes from the Irish word for clover seamair, and óg “young” or “little”. It is often mistaken with the four-leaf clover, a confusion caused by phrases like “the luck of the Irish” and the superstition that the four-leaf clover is the lucky shamrock to anyone who finds it. In the later part of the 18th century the shamrock took on a new nationalistic meaning as an emblem for militias. Cf Theobald Wolfe Tone. Far less politicized now, the shamrock is a registered trademark of the Irish government (used with permission). The shamrock was perhaps made famous by St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Irish Symbols - Celtic Tree of Life</image:title>

      <image:title>Irish Symbols - The Irish Harp</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Irish harp or cláirseach has been on the coat of arms of Ireland as a heraldic emblem since the early 13th century or perhaps the 6th century. Ancient chieftain musicians played the harp and it is one of the most poupular instruments in Ireland today. The symbol of the harp can be found on coins, the state seal and a Guinness glass. Trademarked by Irish government - used with permission</image:caption>

      <image:title>Irish Symbols - Celtic Hounds</image:title>
      <image:caption>Guardian figures and sources of healing power. Hounds are associated with various Celtic gods and goddesses, including the famous Irish mythological hero Cúchulainn. Celtic hounds were dogs well respected by royalty and warriors. They were given as gifts to men of honor and warriors.

      <image:title>Irish Symbols - Celtic Cross</image:title>
      <image:caption>· This is a symbol of faith for all Celts. It appears as a decorative element on large standing stone crosses and in the Book of Kells. This symbol combines the traditional Christian cross with a ring through the cross’s intersection. It is also referred to as the High Cross, the Irish Cross and the Cross of Iona.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A mythical creature thought to be a Celtic symbol of fertility and power. The Celts believed dragons were creatures of magic and power.
