Did you know, the Irish tradition of women proposing on Leap Year can be traced all the way back to the 5th century. According to Irish folklore, St. Brigid of Kildare bitterly complained to St. Patrick that women had to wait far too long for men to propose!

Legend says Patrick declared women could propose on this one day in February during the Leap Year. The tradition was then taken to Scotland by Irish monks, where it was eventually written into law in 1288.

The Scots passed a law that allowed a woman to propose marriage to the man of their dreams on a Leap Year, with the law also stating that any man who declined the proposal on this day would have to pay a fine.

The fine could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves!

Celebrating love, loyalty, and friendship this Valentine's Day with the Irish tradition of timeless Claddagh Ring💍

Originating from the fishing village of Claddagh in Galway, Ireland, it symbolises the enduring bond between two hearts, hands for friendship and crown for loyalty.

The tradition of how to wear your Claddagh Ring is very distinctive. If the owner of the ring wears it with the crown pointing towards the finger nail, he or she is said to be in love or married. To wear the ring with heart pointing away from the finger nail, he or she is said to be unattached to anyone.

Whatever the Claddagh Ring means to you, it remains one of Ireland's most enduring symbols of connection, love and unity.

Tommy describes it perfectly 🙂

POITIN/POTEEN. ( think moonshine)
Poitin or Poteen can be translated as 'little pot' in Irish and refers to the small, illicit stills by which it was traditionally produced.
