Well I have contracted some crud again. Who knows what it is or was. All I know is I feel like crap and I had to leave work today. Then I have slept from about 10:30-2:30 and then from 4:30-5:30.
With all that said I did a small search about St. Patricks day. Here is the shortest version I could find:
St. Patrick's Day honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. Americans march in parades, dance the Irish jig and gather to sing Irish songs. People wear green in memory of Ireland, the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks, clover with three leaves.
March 17 was not the day St. Patrick was born but the day he died. Even though we don't know the date of his birth, most scholars believe the year was 385 AD and the year of his death was 461 AD.
St. Patrick was born in Scotland, studied religion to become a priest and then went to Ireland to teach the people about God. There are many wonderful stories about St. Patrick, some true and some not true.
I hope you all had a great day and are not riddled with bruises from the traditional pinching.
