St. Patrick's Day 2019

Today’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Doodle by Doodler Matthew Cruickshank features the Celtic Triskele— also known as the “triple spiral.” An ancient symbol with various and diverse interpretations, over time the triskele has become an iconic symbol of Irish culture. One such interpretation (which is featured in today’s animated Doodle) describes the trinity as representing the three realms: land, sea, and sky.

No matter what interpretation the ancient symbol holds for you, here’s to wishing a happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!

St. Patrick's Day 2018

In today’s Doodle, Irish artist Ross Stewart celebrates his homeland’s rich history and heritage.

Standing in for the Google “L” is a tall stone that pays homage to Ireland’s earliest form of writing: ogham. The edge is marked with a series of ancient carvings, each group representing a letter of the ogham alphabet. See if you can read what it says (hint: it goes left to right, bottom to top!).

Meanwhile, a determined stonemason is hard at work against a backdrop of peaceful greens and blues. In the foreground, a sprinkling of native wildflowers rounds out Stewart’s ode to the isle’s vast, natural beauty – sheepish onlooker included.

Here’s to a happy St. Patrick’s Day!
