Did you know that the Irish flag, often referred to as the tricolor, was designed by a teenager?
In 1848, Thomas Francis Meagher was just 16 years old when he dreamed up the green, white, and orange flag as a symbol of Irish nationalism. The colors were chosen to represent the Irish people (green), peace (white), and the Protestant minority, represented by orange. The Irish flag has also served as inspiration for other flags around the world, including that of Italy. So grab your crayons and color in the Irish tricolor, knowing you’re adding a touch of history to your masterpiece!
