Waukesha, WI, USA — Whether it’s to celebrate Irish heritage or just a reason to drink green beer and have fun with friends, St. Patrick’s Day is often a lighthearted holiday to get together with loved ones. For a perfect way to capture St. Patrick’s Day memories, GiftWorksPlus has released a line of Irish heritage wooden picture frames. St. Patrick’s Day has obvious roots in Irish culture, but for those who aren’t Irish, a few fun facts will help get you in the spirit of the holiday!

One of the most common St. Patrick’s Day images is that of the shamrock, which was considered to be a sacred plant in ancient Ireland. The shamrock was symbolic of springtime and new life, and in the 17th Century, it became a symbol of Irish nationalism during a time when British rulers were attempting to restrict Ireland’s native language and religion.

Corned beef and cabbage is a traditional Irish meal that many restaurants serve on St. Patrick’s Day. However, it was not particularly associated with the holiday until the early 1900’s, when Irish immigrants living in New York City used corned beef as a less expensive substitute for their traditional dish instead of Irish bacon.

The phrase “Luck of the Irish” actually got its start in America during the gold rush years in the late 19th century. During the Gold Rush, a large number of the most successful miners were of Irish and Irish-American descent. Most likely due to some jealousy at their success, the phrase “luck of the Irish” came about.
