The origins of Halloween are from the old Celtic festival of Samhain, which marks the end of the harvest and the dawn of winter. At Samhain, the division between this world and the otherworld was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Great Outdoors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From endless trails through any one of the six National Parks or along the coastline, to sports, which are popular here, with everything from horse racing to golf, football, and rugby. There is some amazing surfing to be had here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>St Patrick&#8217;s Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What other country\u2019s national day is celebrated worldwide, in fact, it is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is it a celebration of Christianity\u2019s arrival in Ireland, but is a celebration of the culture and heritage of Ireland. Shamrocks and green attire are de rigueur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know? St Patrick&#8217;s Day is even celebrated in Korea and has been since 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top 5 Reasons Not to Move to Ireland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, actually I struggled to find any reason not to move to Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one reason that most people quote is the weather, and this is debatable, as it is neither extremely cold nor hot in Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without the liquid sunshine (rain) there would not be the lush grass that gives Ireland its Emerald Isle tag. So perhaps the weather in Ireland is best described as changeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I did find, however, were some traditional Irish quotes, and these two I thought you might like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWould you like to be buried with my people?\u201d which is a traditional Irish wedding proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you want praise, die.
