The Irish are a blend of the old Celtic mythologies and the Christianity brought in by St. Patrick. Both of these influences are equally important in any relationship. Young men and women are told to be proper and to show great respect for each other and their families. At the same time, the old myths and love of nature tug at their desire to run barefoot through the hills and tumble in the grass.
