Biography
Biography Timeline
Thomas Dinely, an English traveller in Ireland in 1681, remarked that “the Irish of all stations and condicõns were crosses in their hatts, some of pins, some of green ribbon.” Jonathan Swift, writing to “Stella” of Saint Patrick’s Day 1713, said “the Mall was so full of crosses that I thought all the world was Irish”. In the 1740s, the badges pinned were multicoloured interlaced fabric. In the 1820s, they were only worn by children, with simple multicoloured daisy patterns. In the 1890s, they were almost extinct, and a simple green Greek cross inscribed in a circle of paper (similar to the Ballina crest pictured). The Irish Times in 1935 reported they were still sold in poorer parts of Dublin, but fewer than those of previous years “some in velvet or embroidered silk or poplin, with the gold paper cross entwined with shamrocks and ribbons”.
Legend credits Patrick with teaching the Irish about the doctrine of the Holy Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a three-leafed plant, using it to illustrate the Christian teaching of three persons in one God. This story first appears in writing in 1726, though it may be older. The shamrock has since become a central symbol for Saint Patrick’s Day.
Saint Patrick’s Saltire is a red saltire on a white field. It is used in the insignia of the Order of Saint Patrick, established in 1783, and after the Acts of Union 1800 it was combined with the Saint George’s Cross of England and the Saint Andrew’s Cross of Scotland to form the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. A saltire was intermittently used as a symbol of Ireland from the seventeenth century, but without reference to Patrick.
