With the Mullingar Pewter Claddagh Wedding Candlestick, you can celebrate the bond of friendship and Irish pride with a colorful unity style that accents the originality of the beloved Claddagh symbol. The Claddagh is a symbol that first appeared in a fishing village in Galway, Ireland in the 17th century. One legend claims that a man crafted the first Claddagh ring out of gratitude for his love who faithfully waited for his return to Ireland when he was kidnapped and enslaved far-off for years. Another story says that a rich widow was rewarded with the ring by an eagle that dropped it into her lap for her charitable deeds of building bridges in Ireland.
