Paul Callaghan always considered himself blessed with Irish Luck. It seemed only fitting to acknowledge this in the facade ornament of his new home.
The three-leaf Irish shamrock representing faith, hope & love is only topped by the rare four-leaf clover representing faith, hope, love & luck. The western horse shoe, made of iron that is thought to repel evil spirits, is the traditional western symbol of luck, a crescent moon, fertility & prosperity. The surrounding configuration of Native American arrows signifies “warding off evil sprits”.
