Where did the saying , theres a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow originate from ?
I don’t think anyone knows where this saying originated. I remember my deceased mother quoting this saying and said she had heard her mother and also her grandmother quoting this as well. My deceased father’s family lives back east who stated the saying has been passed down from generation to generation. The meaning is a metaphor on how life can hand you storms, trials, tribulations but at the end of those trials and tribulations is a rainbow which represents God’s love and promise (God gave Noah a rainbow to promise he would never flood the earth again). How you react and act during those times and how you treat others will depend on the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow which is a metaphor for a lesson learned and blessings received.
