    Senior Moments

    The Irish Harp or Cruit, a national symbol, dates back to the 11th Century. It was commonly used by ecclesiastics from the introduction of Christianity into Ireland. Throughout the medieval period Harp Playing flourished as the native tradition of Irish music. The Brian Boru Harp preserved in the Museum of Trinity College Dublin is probably the oldest Harp now remaining in Europe.
