Pots of gold are part of St. Patrick's Day lore primarily due to the tales surrounding leprechauns, the mischievous fairy folk of Irish mythology. According to legend, leprechauns, who are cobblers or shoemakers by trade, are also avid collectors of treasure, which they hide away from humans. These pots of gold are said to be stashed at the end of rainbows, a place impossible for mortals to reach because a rainbow's end constantly shifts with the viewer's perspective.
The association of leprechauns with St. Patrick's Day brings their pots of gold into the holiday's celebrations. The idea of finding a leprechaun's hidden treasure appeals to the universal human themes of luck, fortune, and the pursuit of elusive goals. On St. Patrick's Day, this is symbolized by the pot of gold, which is often depicted in decorations, costumes, and themed activities, embodying the hopes for prosperity and good fortune.
The pot of gold not only ties into the whimsical and fantastical aspects of St. Patrick's Day but also serves as a playful reminder of the richness of Irish folklore and the joy in the journey of seeking one's own "pot of gold," whatever that may represent in individual aspirations and dreams.
