Irish Flag Colors, Meaning & History
While the tricolor pattern may seem somewhat plain, the colors of the Irish flag symbolize hundreds of years of rich Irish history. Each color represents a different historical movement, and the colors together represent lasting peace between Ireland’s people. Green stands for Ireland’s Roman Catholic population, while orange represents the Protestants, as led by William of Orange. The white in the center conveys trust and union between the two religious factions.
The flag of Ireland was created in 1848 by a few French women, who gave the flag as a gift to Thomas Francis Meagher, a leader of the Irish independence movement.
Fun Fact!
Although the flag has been considered the national flag of Ireland since it was first raised during the Easter Rising of 1916, it was not officially confirmed by the Constitution of Ireland until some twenty years later, in 1937.
