Claddagh Wedding Rings - Sacred Celtic Symbols of Love and Friendship

The Claddagh symbol is one of the best known Irish designs. It has a long and fascinating history, going back at least as far as Roman times. The Claddagh is a simple but eloquent symbol, portraying two hands surrounding a heart, with a crown above. This romantic image is a natural choice for many people looking for a wedding ring design. It can also be a sign of any kind of love, friendship or loyalty.

Claddagh rings have been the most popular wedding ring design in Ireland since the 17th Century, but the origins of the symbol go back much further. They are part of a type of ring called "Fede rings" in Irish, which translates into "faith." Faith rings go back to Roman times, and have traditionally portrayed two hands representing faith, friendship and loyalty.

For people knowledgeable about the Claddagh, its symbolism can vary depending on how its worn. If someone wears it on their right hand with the heart facing inwards, it says that they are engaged. Worn on the right hand with the heart facing outward says that the relationship is not yet solidified. Worn on the left hand with the heart facing inward says that the wearer is married. Of course, not everyone knows these traditional meanings, so you cannot assume that any of these conditions apply based solely on how someone is wearing a Claddagh ring.

Today, the Claddagh is as much a symbol of Irish or Celtic culture itself as a statement of love or friendship. As one of the most recognizable of traditional Celtic symbols, the Claddagh can be used by people of Irish or other Celtic heritage to show their pride in their heritage. Or it can be just as easily used by people of any heritage to display their feelings for another person!

The Claddagh is one of those symbols that is at once historical and timeless. Even someone who knows nothing about the Celtic tradition of the Claddagh could look at it and understand its meaning. For those who are familiar with its history, there is an added and richer meaning.

This ancient symbol is as beautiful and sacred a way of showing affection as ever before. Claddagh wedding rings, or any other kind of Claddagh symbol, is the perfect way to show someone that you will be true to them forever.

Famous Winnie The Pooh Quotes About Love and Friendship

Who is Winnie The Pooh? A.A. Milne created the fictional character Winnie-the-Pooh in 1926. Winnie is also famously known as Pooh Bear. When Disney adapted the famous bear's character in 1966, the hyphens were dropped in Pooh's original name. Children adore Pooh bear because of his sweet and innocent character. Pooh bear is one of the most favourite Disney characters of both the young and the young at heart.

If you are one of the many fans of Pooh Bear, you must be familiar with the famous quotes of Winnie the Pooh from the television series and theatrical feature-length films. Following are some of the most inspiring quotes of Pooh that tackle both love and friendship.

"Some people care too much. I think it's called love."
This line is from the original Pooh classics. Who would ever think that Pooh Bear is romantic? Perhaps, this is one reason why people love Pooh Bear so much. This quotation can be used when writing sweet nothings to a loved one or a friend. Funny, that this realization is coming from a fictional bear. If only people would realize that there are people who care instead of mumbling and ranting about the negative things around.

"If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you."
This inspiring quotation is taken from Christopher Robin & Pooh Come to the Enchanted Place & We Say 'Goodbye'. This story is about Christopher Robin and Pooh parting ways. They went for a walk in the enchanted forest. Pooh promised his best friend that he will never forget Christopher Robin even if he is already 99 and Christopher Robin is one hundred. Whatever happens, they will still have each other and they have memories to cherish. Surely, this scene is one of the most touching moments between Pooh and his best friend Christopher Robin.

Again, this is a very dramatic quote from Winnie the Pooh. People who can relate to this are good friends who have to part ways and move on with life. This is a good line to say to a friend during graduation party or to a loved one who has left.

"I used to believe in forever. But forever's too good to be true."
This infamous line of Winnie the Pooh comes from Winnie the Pooh's Most Grand Adventure. Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin are the best pals ever. They only hope that they can be together forever. But, Christopher Robin is not forever a kid and he needs to move on with life. He needs to go to school. Christopher Robin leaves him a note that they will be separated. However, Pooh misunderstood the message of the letter and he thought that Christopher Robin is in danger. From there, the story moves on to the great adventure of Pooh and his friends to rescue Christopher Robin.

This line is sad, but true. Truly, there is no permanent thing in this world except change and nothing lasts forever. Everyone can surely relate to this quotation especially when a friend or somebody dear has left. On the brighter side, change is also a good thing. Without change, there will be no more new adventure to experience and new friends to meet.
