Gravestone Iconography
Gravestone iconography in Appalachia provides valuable insights into regional religious values and culture. Local stone carvers crafted gravestones that conveyed important messages about life, death, and the sacred through common symbols. The earliest Appalachian gravestones were generally simple with eroded inscriptions, but later ones featured symbols like funerary urns representing mortality, weeping willows denoting grief, and doves indicating deceased children. Appalachian gravestones serve as outdoor museums reflecting the transcendent aspirations of the societies that created them.

Irish music helped preserve history and culture when the English forbade the Irish language. The legend of St. Patrick banishing snakes from Ireland actually refers to eliminating polytheism. Corned beef and cabbage became a popular St. Patrick's Day meal for Irish immigrants in America, as a cheaper substitute for traditional Irish bacon. Belief in leprechauns stems from Celtic folktales of mischievous fairy-like creatures that guarded gold.
