Irish Culture and Customs

Welcome to Irish Culture and Customs, a labor of love we began several years ago. What started as a surprise milestone birthday trip to Ireland became the beginning of a journey through time. A 2,000-year voyage on a quest to learn as much as we can about everything irish.

So here's where we are so far - more than 500 pages that range from Irish poetry, superstitions and recipes to specific Irish calendar celebrations such as St. Patrick's Day and the Feast of St. Brigid. Whether it's an Irish symbol such as the shillelagh or an Irish craft like Aran Isle knitting, you'll discover a wide range of topics in our index. We hope you find the little bit of Ireland you may be looking for.
