What do Irish legends say can be found at the end of a rainbow?

Answer 1

A leprachaun smiling with a pot of gold. I wish.

Atmosphere, (AIR)

True experience: while driving away from an early morning rainstorm across a long, flat valley, we spotted a rainbow that appeared to be quite close. Within a few miles, we were able to look out across farm fields and actually saw what appeared to be the end of the rainbow touching down in a field of spring crops.

The rainbow is, of course, a trick of light being refracted by moisture (or raindrops) in the air, visible when viewed from a particular angle. For just a few moments, our car was at the perfect angle, relative to the refraction of light, to see the end of the rainbow touching the earth in a mist that was distinctly golden.

So while there is no "pot" at the end of the rainbow, I can give eye-witness testimony that there is indeed gold (light) at the rainbow's end!

Answer #2:

That's beautiful. Answer #1 has brought a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat.

At the end of a rainbow is the ground. If there were no ground there ... like

if you see a rainbow below you from an aircraft ... then the rainbow would be

a full circle, but the ground usually intervenes to cut off the lower part of it.

Answer 2

Irish legends mention that a pot of gold can be found at the end of a rainbow, guarded by a leprechaun. The lore suggests that those who discover the pot of gold will be granted good luck and fortune.

Answer 3

According to Irish Folk Tales, it is either the fairies or the Leprechauns who put pots of gold at the end or rainbows. If the fairies have put the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, then it is the Leprechauns who guard the gold.

Answer 4

This is a folktale started by the Irish. According to them, fairies leave a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and leprechauns guard it. Only those who persevere, show hard work and have hope (and a little bit of the 'luck of the Irish' always helps) can find it. It's metaphorical to life as well. The morale is that only those who work hard and have faith can obtain the treasures at the end of life.
