What is the origin of the saying May the sun always be at your back?
This is an incorrect version of a line from a well-known traditional Irish blessing, taken from an ancient Celtic prayer. The blessing uses nature imagery and everyday events to show the close connection between God and people. The speaker of the blessing hopes that, when you're traveling, you will have a level path. If the wind blows in your face, it will slow your progress, but if it is at your back it will speed you along your way. In a land where rain is common, it's a blessing to feel the sun on one's face. Rain that does not fall soft on one's fields could ruin one's crops. The speaker finishes by wishing that you are protected by God. Here is a very widespread version of the saying: May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, May the rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
