Celtic Harp The Celtic harp isn’t just any musical instrument--it is the national symbol of Ireland, and the centerpiece of the country’s coat of arms. With a long history stretching back centuries, the harp has long been revered as a staple of Irish music and culture. Today, the harp is featured in many different ways as a symbol of the Irish nation, and can be found in various official uses (for example, on the Presidential Seal and on Irish Euro coins). The harp is also used by businesses and other corporations to emphasize the “Irish-ness” of the organization--notably by Guinness (which uses the harp as their company logo) and by Ryan Air (which features the harp on the tail fins of their aircraft). While it may not be as well recognized outside of the country as the shamrock, this does not stop the Celtic harp from maintaining its prominence in Ireland. Shamrocks Shamrocks evoke immediate thoughts of Ireland, and for good reason. The shamrock has been used as an Irish national symbol since the 18th century, much like the thistle is used in Scotland and the rose in England. The plant was considered sacred to the Irish Druids due to its cluster of three heart-shaped leaves. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is said to have used the shamrock as a metaphor for the Christian holy trinity. Today, it is featured on many buildings as a decorative motif, lampposts, postcards, and postage stamps. The shamrock is also featured prominently in celebrations--it is a tradition for the Irish Taoiseach to present a Waterford crystal bowl of shamrocks to the President of the United States in the White House on St. Patrick’s day. The soldiers of the Royal Irish Regiment of the British Army not only use the shamrock as their emblem, but they also traditionally wear a sprig of shamrock on St. Patrick’s day. Our beautiful stained glass panel proudly features hand-painted shamrocks in celebration of the Irish national heritage, history, and culture.
