About this saying

The everyday Irish hello is a blessing with the seams still showing: it wishes God to the person greeted, and the traditional reply raises it (invoking Mary as well) so that an exchange of greetings is a small escalation of goodwill. The dictionary prints the exchange in full under its entry for hello.
