Who Is Ready to Find A Pot Of Gold On St. Patty’s Day?
Irish folklore is so rich in legends and stories of leprechauns and a pot of gold at the end of a colorful rainbow. Where dose this legend of pot of gold come from? Andy why is it gold and not any other precious metal that sits in the pot of gold?
For centuries the Irish culture appreciated the yellow color of gold and recognized the value of this precious metal. The value of the metal was mainly seen in its ease to craft with and exchange.
The best way to reap the benefits and gain the Luck of the Irish at any time during the year is to turn in your scrap precious metals for remelting and then recirculate that value into your business and the economy.
Every little Irish child will tell you with ease that “fairies put a pot of gold at the end of each rainbow with leprechauns guarding it.” It’s folklore that has become part of the symbolism of St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th, when many celebrate Irish culture and count themselves as “Irish” just for wearing a little of “the Green.”
You, too, can have a pot of gold at home! Fill a pot of brightly-wrapped candy and place it where it is visible and attractive to everybody who visits you!
Easy to make, this simple craft will add the spirit and celebration of luck and gold and Irish folklore of St. Patrick’s Day.
