[bitheerani319]

Ireland is a beautiful country known for its green lands and lush nature, which What's Up! will visit first-hand with 40 adventurous students . It is a country also known for its extensive history and the depth of the Celtic tradition, which has made Ireland accumulate stories, myths and legends, thus nourishing the aura of mystery that the country harbors; also helped by the dense fog that often adorns the environment, but you should not go overboard.

Here we leave you our selection of the most famous mysteries and magical brazil phone number list of the Emerald Isle, since the list itself could be endless.

1. Origin of Irish mythology
The oldest myth in Irish mythology dates back to the High Middle Ages in Ireland in manuscripts written by Christians, so it is to be expected that the nature and symbolism of the Celtic gods was reinterpreted.

The myth from which the others originated seems to be that it was a war between two apparently divine races: the Tuatha Dé Danann, literally the Tribes of the Goddess Dana who constitute what are called the great gods of the Irish pantheon, and the Fomorians, a people of giants who live on the islands surrounding Ireland and who constantly threatened to invade.

Trees were also sacred to the early Celts. The importance that some of them had for them is reflected in some names, such as the Eburonian tribe, which refers to the yew tree, or mythological names such as Mac Cuilinn, 'son of the holly' or Mac Ibar 'son of the yew'.

2. Castles and ghosts
It may seem surprising that so many castles and fortifications proliferated in such a small territory , but everything has an explanation. In this case it was because of Edward VI , who wanted to strengthen the borders of his kingdom and offered a payment of 10 pounds to anyone who built a castle. So it is normal that whoever could, started to build his own fortress!

Irish castles hide all kinds of secrets, betrayals and murders, but also some less morbid elements; if you want to obtain the gift of eloquence you have to kiss the stone of Blarney Castle, since, according to legend, if you kiss this stone you will obtain the precious gift. Of course, it is not so easy, since you will have to risk your life by leaning backwards over the void, although with time and current security measures, it has lost a little bit of excitement.
