The flag consists of the red cross with the red hand and the crown on a white field. Ireland’s Patron Saint is St. Patrick. Ireland is often called “the Emerald Isle”. Thanks to the winds blowing from the Atlantic Ocean the soil and the air are warm and damp. That is why fresh green grass covers the ground there.
