All of us here at My Irish Jeweler would like to wish you a very happy St Patrick’s Day from Dublin, Ireland.
Gaelic is a rich language, offering many different ways to wish someone a Happy St Patrick’s Day. My personal favorite is the traditional Irish greeting:
“Beannachtaí na Féile Padraig Ort”.
This literally translates as Blessings of Patrick’s Festival Upon You.
How to Pronounce "Beannachtaí na Féile Padraig Ort"
I will break the phrase up, into 9 sounds that should help with pronunciation:
Baa, Knock, Tea, Na, Faye, La, Paw, Rick, Urt.
Go on and give it a try! I hope you have a lovely St Patrick’s Day, wherever you are in the world.

As the old Irish proverb says Is fearr Gaeilge briste, ná Béarla clíste - Broken Irish is better than clever English! Happy studying!

My Irish Jeweler
Born in Co. Antrim and reared in Dublin, I was fascinated with Gaelic culture from an early age. I suppose it's not surprising given my mother inherited a grá for the Irish language from my grandfather, an Irish school headmaster. And that grá continues! My brother and sister are now Gaelic teachers here in Ireland, my niece is an award winning Irish dancer, and I proudly work to share Irish culture through our Irish and Celtic Jewelry at My Irish Jeweler!
I love researching and reading about the history of Irish design. It's at the core of what we do here at My Irish Jeweler. I find much of it so interesting that I have to share what I find. I hope you enjoy it!
