A national flag represents and symbolizes a given nation. In their own way, national flags are as crucial as a national anthem, visually conveying the very essence of a country, its hopes,
its dreams, its past and its future.
The colors and designs of national flags are not arbitrarily selected but rather stem from the history and culture of the particular country.
So, what’s the story behind the Irish tricolor flag? What was the inspiration for that design, and why did they choose those particular colors?
On March 5, to commemorate Irish-American Heritage Month, the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley will present a talk by local writer and musician Mark Sisti examining the meaning and the history of the Irish Tricolor Flag, as well as other earlier flags.
A $20 registration fee will cover the program and lunch; meal tax and gratuity are included. For information please call and leave a message at 315-733-4228 Ext 6.
