Ireland, this unique rock formation of polygonal

over 60 million years ago.

Bonfires commemorate the victory of the Protestant,
Prince William of Orange (sent by the British Parliament)
over James II, the last Catholic King of England and Ireland.
Battle of the Boyne, 1690

Battle of the Boyne’s
Day
Today,
When bonfires are lit,
Some see it as the anniversary of the
decisive battle that forever changed the
monarchy of Great Britain,
And empowered the Protestants.
Some see it as a threat against
their rights as Catholics.
Some see it as an opportunity
to begin healing
ancient wounds.
