5 Fun Facts About Ireland

• Ireland's Many Castles: Ireland is home to over 30,000 castles and castle ruins! Some of the most famous include Blarney Castle, where visitors kiss the Blarney Stone to gain "the gift of gab," and Dublin Castle, which has played a pivotal role in Irish history!
• Home of Halloween: The origins of Halloween trace back to the ancient Celtic festival of ‘Samhain’, which was celebrated in Ireland over 2,000 years ago! The festival marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, with people lighting bonfires and wearing costumes to ward off spirits!
• Snakes in Ireland: Ireland is famously free of snakes! According to legend, St. Patrick is said to have driven all snakes out of Ireland, but in reality, the island's cold climate after the Ice Age made it unsuitable for reptiles!
• Guinness: The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin is the home of Guinness beer, an iconic Irish stout! It’s now brewed in over 50 countries, but it all started in Dublin in 1759!
• ‍Ireland's National Symbol: While many think of the shamrock as Ireland's symbol, the official national emblem is actually the ‘harp’. The harp is used on official documents, passports, and even Irish currency. It’s one of the only countries with a musical instrument as its national symbol!
