If a strong alcoholic drink isn’t your cup of tea, why not try celebrating the Irish flag with a wholesome and nutritious salad. This recipe uses green leaves, white cheese and orange fruit to represent the three colours.

Green – The colour green has been associated with Ireland since hundred of years before the Irish tricolour came around. In the 1640s the green harp flag was used by the Irish Catholic Confederation, and green ribbons have been worn on St Patrick’s Day since at least the 1680s.

So why not try making this one yourself- to mark St. Patricks Day or just to liven up a rainy Friday evening- you don’t need an excuse!

Green, white and orange, the three colors in the Irish flag, stand for the roman catholics, the peace between the catholics and the protestants and the protestants, respectively. Also, specially in case of state flags, the meaning associated with the colors are generally endorsed by an official charter. However, at times the symbolism is simply understood by being descended from the culture of the land or has seeped so deeply into customs that, now, the two are inextricably linked. Please also note that there can be more than one meaning for the colors in the Ireland flag.

In 2016, 100 years since the Easter rising, as a mark of remembrance, all schools in Ireland received an Irish flag. Members of Ireland’s defence forces travelled around primary schools to educate the students on the flag’s story, its meaning, and proper care.

During the Easter Rising of 1916, both of these Irish flags were flown above the GPO, the headquarters of the rebels, and this was when the tricolour became more widely accepted.

White – The third colour of the flag is white, which has historically been associated with peace, from the white flags of surrender to the international symbol of peace, the white dove. That is why the white section in the middle of the tricolour was used, to signify a lasting peace and hope for union between Protestants and Catholics in Ireland.

When the Irish flag was first flown by  Thomas Francis Meagher on March 7, 1848, during that year’s Young Irelander Rebellion in Waterford City at the Wolfe Tone Confederate Club, it flew for eight days before it was taken down by the British.

The Ireland flag is known as the tricolour (an trídhathach).

“The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between Orange and Green and I trust that beneath its folds the hands of Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics may be clasped in generous and heroic brotherhood”

In April of 1848, inspired by the revolutions across Europe, a contingent of Young Irelanders (including Meaghar) traveled to France. Their aim was to congratulate the rebels on overthrowing King Louis Philippe I, and whilst there, Meagher was presented with an Irish flag which had been woven out of French silk.

The colours on the flag were meant to symbolise the longed-for union between the Roman Catholics, represented by the green colour, and the Protestants, represented by orange. Meaghar said:

From then until now, the Irish flag is seen as a symbol of Irish pride, and it remains to be an important reminder of the peace that has been achieved and the progress that is still to be made.

Ireland was at this time experiencing a deep divide between the Catholics and the Protestants, and suffering hugely from the effects of the “Great Famine”, which killed a million Irish people and caused another million to emigrate.

When the Irish constitution came into law later in 1937, the tricolour was confirmed as the official flag of Ireland by Article 7, which states: “The national flag of Ireland is the tricolour of green, white and orange.”

After the Rising, during the Irish War of Independence between 1919 and 1921, the new Irish flag was adopted by the IRA. It was also used as a symbol of the Irish Free State between 1922 and 1937.

This suggests that green was already a national colour of Ireland, hence why the green stripe is meant to represent the Roman Catholics of Ireland.

Whilst many embraced tricolour as a symbol for Ireland, it didn’t become the primary flag for the country until 1916. The previous one was green with a harp in the centre, the harp being Ireland’s national symbol, and was known to have been used as early as 1642.
