1916 Easter Rising

Dublin, Ireland

Easter Monday: April 24, 1916

"Believe that we too love freedom and desire it. To us it is more desirable
than anything in the world. If you strike us down now, we shall rise again and
renew the fight. You cannot conquer Ireland; you cannot extinguish the Irish
passion for freedom; if our deed has not been sufficient to win freedom then
our children will win it with a better deed." - P.H. Pearse.
