Lithograph of Ireland's historical emblems by the Eagle Lithograph Company, 1894. Ancient cross, ancient harp and shamrocks, standard of Erin, roundtower, abbey, lakes of Killarney. The Celtic cross is a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. It has often been claimed that Patrick combined the symbol of Christianity with the sun cross, to give pagan followers an idea of the importance of the cross by linking it with the idea of the life-giving properties of the sun. Other interpretations claim that placing the cross on top of the circle represents Christ's supremacy over the pagan sun. The Celtic harp is a triangular harp traditional to Brittany, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The shamrock refers to the young sprigs of clover or trefoil. It is known as a symbol of Ireland, with St. Patrick having used it as a metaphor for the Christian Trinity, according to legend. The sunburst flag is a flag associated with early Irish nationalism. Irish round towers are early medieval stone towers of a type found mainly in Ireland, with two in Scotland and one on the Isle of Man. Though there is no certain agreement as to their purpose, it is thought that they may have been bell towers, places of refuge, or both. An abbey has historically been a Catholic or, more recently, Anglican, monastery or convent, under the authority of an Abbot or an Abbess, who serves as the spiritual father or mother of the community. The Lakes of Killarney are a renowned scenic attraction located near Killarney, County Kerry, in Ireland. They consist of three lakes - Lough Leane, Muckross Lake (also called Middle Lake) and Upper Lake. The lakes are renowned for their trout fisheries.
