In ancient Celtic tradition, the peacock was thought to represent immortality -- and, taking into consideration its regal look and lustrous colors, we can easily see why. But that’s not the only fascinating fact about the Celts’ view of this beautiful bird: they also thought the “eyes” in its tail feathers could see into the future! If there’s two things that the people of Ireland value above all else, it’s love and laughter. This is charmingly illustrated by the second tea towel in this set, completed with ancient Celtic-style text to add an extra flair of Irish authenticity. You’ll love catching sight of this Irish blessing in your home. Also prominently featured on this tea towel set is an all-important design often seen in Celtic art: the world-famous Celtic knot. This knot’s angular, interweaving shape has fascinated historians for centuries. Today, it’s believed that its use was often related to the importance of balance in all aspects of human life. The deep, rich colors used on this tea towel set are distinctively Irish in their presentation. But why? The answer lies in the history of 9th century Ireland, when medieval monks were hard at work using these exact colors to create illuminated manuscripts, many of which are still on display in Ireland today!
