Every country has its own symbols that are identified with it.
Every country has its own flag to identify it and its own national anthem.
No matter where in the world you go there are some symbols that everyone knows.
The American Flag and the Statue of Liberty are associated the world over with
The United States.
And so it goes with the Ireland and the humble little shamrock. You would be hard pressed
to find someone that could not name Ireland when shown this little trifoil of green.
Ireland
is represented by other symbols as well, each with their own meaning, history and historical references.
