What’s the Difference between a sign and
 a symbol?

Signs –
Objects or gestures that express ONE specific message or meaning.
  • For example Stop sign.





Why do we need symbols?

  • Words alone are not enough to describe the desires, fears and emotions that touch us deeply.

  • Words / feelings / ideas that are intangible (hard to describe) are associated with something that is tangible (easily recognized; can be touched).
    • For example a flower can represent love, friendship, beauty or new life.

Irish orthography

GAELIC IRISH ALPHABET Writing in the Gaelic Irish language first appeared around the time St Patrick introduced Christianity to Ireland in the 5th century. As Latin was the language of communication within the Church, most early writing was in Latin and the writers were most often priests or monks. The Gaelic written alphabet used in Irish literature is an adapted form of the Latin alphabet.
