Ways Teach Your Kids About Your Irish Heritage
Posted in Jewelry on January 28, 2022.
Kids usually pick up aspects of different cultures when exposed to them. If your kids live in Ireland, you don’t need to worry about their knowledge of the Irish culture. The problem begins when they are located somewhere else and don’t know much about their Irish Heritage.
Irish societies throughout the world are working on letting people know more about their culture and tradition. St. Patrick’s Day parades are enjoyed with full zest worldwide. Your kid already knows much about Ireland if you keep referring to it now and then.
A great way to teach kids anything is to find its relevant representation in what they like. Leprechauns have been featured in many classic cartoons. Leprechauns are a part of the Irish folklore about red-bearded men who’d go around creating mischief.
As a birthday present this year, gift your kid beautiful Irish jewellery like a St. Christopher pendant. St. Christopher pendants are offered to wish people safe and secure travel. The saint is the martyr killed during the 3rd-century Roman reign. We have reversible St. Christopher pendants at our store in Dublin. You can contact us to place your order.
Here are some ways you can teach your kids about their Irish heritage.
Take Them to Irish Festivals
Irish festivals are celebrated in full vigour in Ireland. Some of the most popular Irish festivals include:
- St. Patrick’s Day (Of course!): Wear green on this day.
- National Heritage Week: The Heritage Week events are organized by the Heritage Council of Ireland. The 2021 lineup is about projects that deal with heritage for newcomers and the importance of heritage for all ages.
Go for Traditional Irish Food
There’s no match for smoked salmon and the Irish stew. Traditional cuisines are the best way to teach your kids about Irish culture. Almost all families in Ireland have their recipe for soda bread by now. If you haven’t made it for some time, here’s the perfect recipe.
Celtic Clothing
One of the most easily distinguishable articles of Irish clothing is the kilt. You must have heard people refer to it as the “Irish skirt”. It’s a men’s dress revered by Irish and Scottish men as a part of their Celtic heritage. Buy one for your kid to wear at special Irish events.
Irish Jewellery
Jewellery can stand for so many things. It doesn’t just have to be a showpiece. Traditional Irish jewellery like Claddagh rings serves as traditional Irish wedding bands worn by Irish people on weddings and engagements. They are available at our store in white gold and diamond.
We have a range of products at our Dublin store that is highly symbolic of life in Ireland. Our Shamrock pendants represent the devotion we have for our religion. Ogham rings represent the onset of Irish culture. As Irish jewellery designers, we pride ourselves on designing Irish jewellery by hand. We also deliver products through shipment.
