C1843H Ireland Santa The Irish Santa wears the traditional color of Ireland, green. Green has always been associated with Ireland as a nation, and with the revolutionary groups within it. Green is the color of independence and is the adopted color of Ireland today. Santa plays his fiddle. He can play all four types of Irish music and the associated dances which are the jig, reel, hornpipe, and the set dances. In Santa's purse you'll find candles that are to be lit and placed in windows on Christmas Eve to guide Joseph and Mary and other poor travelers who might be looking for shelter on such a night. The candles are usually red in color and decorated with sprigs of holly. There's also the Irish flag and a doll house which represents the tradition of Whitewashing the House. In many rural areas of Ireland still today the custom of whitewashing the houses and stores prevails. Long ago, it included the whole farm, inside and out. The women would scrub and polish everything until it shone. The men would take a bucket of whitewash and purify everything in honor of the coming of the Christ child. The mask in Santa's pocket represents the boys on St. Stephen's Day, parading around the town. Lastly, there's a toy sheep, representing the many shepherds that tend the flock of the hills of Ireland.
