8 beautiful Irish blessings for a new home

Known as the land of saints and scholars, there seems to be an Irish proverb for almost every occasion. Do you have friends or family celebrating their first Christmas in a new home this year? There are lots of traditional Irish blessings you can wish on them - here are some of our favourites at Irish Gift Solutions.

1. "May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door"

2. "May your home always be too small to hold all your friends"

3. "May peace and plenty bless your home
With a joy that long endures
And may life's passing seasons
Bring the best to you and yours"

4. "May your cottage roof be well thatched
And those inside be well matched"

5. "Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin." An Irish proverb that translates to "There's no hearth like your own hearth" or more colloquially, there's no place like home. Check it out here.

6. "God bless the corners of this house,
And be the lintel blest,
And bless the hearth and bless the board,
And bless each place of rest,
And bless each door that opens wide
To stranger as to kin,
And bless each crystal window pane
That lets the starlight in,
And bless the rooftree overhead
And every sturdy wall.
The peace of man, the peace of God,
The peace of love on all"

7. “May you always be blessed with walls for the wind. A roof for the rain. A warm cup of tea by the fire. Laughter to cheer you. Those you love near you. And all that your heart might desire.”

8. "May the road rise to meet you
may the wind be at your back
may the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall softly on your fields
and until we meet again
May God hold you

In the palm of his hand"
