There are good ships and there are wood ships,
the ship that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships,
and may they always be.

Irish Trivia
After living much of his life in a hermitage in County Kilkenny in the 6th century, reluctant holy man Saint Fiacre was canonized and became the patron saint of gardeners and venereal disease sufferers. He has also been know to cure hemorrhoids, which, in the Middle Ages, were called "Saint Fiacre's illness."

Quotations
For the young Gaels of Ireland
are the lads that drive me mad.
For half their words need footnotes
and half their rhymes are bad.

Irish Symbols
Claddagh
The claddagh, created with two small hands holding a crowned heart, is inspired by the warm, romantic spirit of the Irish people, and became a symbol of purity and loyalty in the royal courts. In modern times, it has come to signify undying devotion and faithfulness, and rings featuring the design are popular gifts between lovers.
