The symbolism of rainbows have been celebrated in many cultures throughout history. Rainbows are not only a beautiful natural phenomenon, but they're full of positive signs and spiritual meanings. Rainbows bring the promise of hope, new beginnings and peace. Typically seen after a storm, rainbows bring a message that bright and beautiful times are ahead. Because rainbows are inclusive of many colors, rainbows also represent love and acceptance. Some cultures even believe that rainbows are a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. 

Thanks to Irish folklore, the story of finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow has been around for centuries. According to legend, mischievous leprechauns found abandoned gold and buried it at the end of the rainbows so it could never be found again. Unfortunately, science tells us that rainbows don't actually have an end since their arch shape is an illusion! Rainbows are actually full circles reflected from raindrops. That said, if you're lucky enough to find the mysterious pot of gold, it's believed to represent the realization of one's hopes and dreams.
