The harp is a beautiful musical instrument with strings that you pluck to make soft, magical sounds. In Ireland (where St. Patrick’s Day comes from!), the harp is a special symbol—like a musical flag!

The harp is on Irish coins, passports, and even the famous Guinness beer logo! It’s as Irish as shamrocks and leprechauns.

Long ago, Irish kings and bards (storytellers) played harps at big celebrations—just like St. Patrick’s Day parties today!

Some legends say St. Patrick himself used music to teach people about kindness and faith. The Irish harp is sometimes called the "Celtic harp" and is small enough to hold on your lap.

Old stories say harp music could even make people laugh, cry, or fall asleep! They’re often green or gold!
