”Why have the countries

chosen these flowers as

their emblems?”

The parts of the texts are mixed.

Put them together and answer

the question:

In the fifteenth century there was a long

series of wars in England, which were

called the Wars of the Roses. It was

fought between the Dukes of Lancaster

and the Dukes of York over who should be

king. The emblem of Lancaster was the

red rose and the emblem of York was the

white rose. Eventually the Duke of

Lancaster won, so the English emblem is

the red rose.

Rose is the emblem of England

The Scottish chose the thistle as their national

emblem because it saved their land from foreign

invaders many years ago.

People say that during a surprise night attack by

the invaders the Scottish soldiers were

awakened by the shouts of the invaders as their

bare feet touched the thorns of the thistles in

the field they were crossing.

This, of course, was a good reason to choose

the thistle as a national emblem!

A thistle is the emblem of Scotland

The Legend of the

Shamrock

The story of the shamrock dates back many centuries ago, to the

time of Saint Patrick’s arrival in Ireland. During the 5th-century a

Welsh man – who would become known as Saint Patrick –

arrived on Irish shores from his native Wales. At this time

Ireland was an island that had yet to be introduced to

Christianity, and was occupied by a Druid population.

One day a group of people came to him and said that they had a

great difficulty believing the Holy Trinity (the Father, Son and

Holy Spirit). It was then that Saint Patrick used the shamrock to

explain the three-in-one reference.

Today, the shamrock is celebrated along with Saint Patrick on

March 17 each year. St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday, and

sees thousands of foreigners arriving in Ireland to join the

celebrations.
