Irish Trivia
Since the 1800s, the Irish police carried wooden truncheons, but their weapon was recently replaced with lightweight retractable batons. Sometimes notched with impressive carvings and a historical record of names, the truncheons were passed down through generations of the Guard of the Peace of Ireland, the police force commonly known as Gardaí.
An Irish prayer to bless you at Christmas, from the KC Irish Fest Staff...
Give us wisdom to seek you,
Light to guide us to you,
And joy as we come before you,
Our God and King forever.
Arise, shine; for you light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
Isaiah 60:1
