Tradições e Festivais Irlandeses

The Wren Boys

Leitura
On St. Stephen's Day, the wren boys walk through the villages of Ireland. This ancient tradition dates back hundreds of years. Young men dress in colourful straw costumes and paint their faces. They play music on bodhráns and tin whistles. They visit houses and sing the wren song. In the past, they hunted a real wren. Today, they use a fake bird. Householders give them money or sweets. The money is donated to charity. "It keeps our traditions alive," says old Mr. Murphy. Children love this day more than Christmas. It is a unique part of Irish heritage that continues to bring communities together.
