What is a Leprechaun?

Legend has it that a Leprechaun is a type of fairy that stands about as tall as a three-year-old child. A Leprechaun is usually described as a bearded man who wears a green suit and a green hat. Some believe there are only male Leprechauns. The Leprechaun is said to be a shoe-maker and if a leprechaun were near you, you would hear the tap-tapping of his tiny hammer repairing shoes. These little men are also very mischievous and they enjoy playing tricks on the people they meet. As legend holds, Leprechauns love to collect gold, hide it in a pot and bury it at the end of a rainbow. If you caught a Leprechaun, they would have to lead you to their pot of gold.

The Legend of Finn McCool

The Legend of Finn Mc Cool

A long time ago, there was an Irish giant who was called Finn McCool. One day, he challenged his enemy, the Scottish giant Benandonner, to come to Ireland and fight him. So Finn built a passage across the sea from Ulster to Scotland but he was so exhausted when it was finished that he fell asleep. Suddenly, he heard a tremendous noise. It was the Scottish giant who was walking towards him. Finn was terrified when he realised that Benandonner was much bigger than him. So he ran back home, where his wife, Oonagh, was waiting for him. Later on, Oonagh had an idea. She disguised him as a baby to pretend he was their son and put him in the cradle. When Benandonner arrived, she told him her husband was not here. As soon as the Scottish giant saw the huge 'baby boy', he imagined the size of the father and ran away back to Scotland, destroying the causeway as he went, so that Finn could not come after him. And that's why only two fragments of the causeway now remain. In the end, Finn thanked his wife.

Jack put the coal into a carved out pumpkin and he has been roaming the Earth ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as "Jack of the Lantern and then simply as "Jack'O'Lantern". In the end, Irish people carved pumpkins and placed them into windows or near doors to scare away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits.
