Doors left open for Mary and Joseph in Ireland
CHRISTMAS IN IRELAND
Although Ireland is , famous for its
leprechauns and four leaf clovers,
Christmas is a special time also.
On Christmas Eve, a candle, lit by the
youngest in each family, is placed in the
window. The door is left open so that Mary
and Joseph can rest on their long journey to
Bethlehem. The candle is decorated with
h„lly and is placed in a scooped out turnip or
in a container with bran or flour.
Sometimes churches light twelve candles
representing the twelve Apostles. A large
candle is placed in the center, representing
Christ. `tNodlaig cnhaith chugnat” means
Merry Christmas in Irish.
