Christmas Tradition in Ireland

Christmas Tradition in Ireland

Major objective of this lecture is to present on Christmas Tradition in Ireland. Christmas in Ireland lasts from Christmas Eve to the feast of the Epiphany on January 6, which is referred to as Little Christmas. Irish women bake a seed cake for each person in the house. St Stephen’s Day, the day after Christmas, is almost as important with football matches. For children, the Wren Boys Procession is their big event. Boys go from door to door with a fake wren on a stick, singing, with violins, accordions, harmonicas and horns to accompany them.
