What is St. Patrick Day?
St. Patrick’s Day was originally a religious holiday in Ireland, celebrated with feasts and services. Irish immigrants brought the tradition to the United States, where it evolved into a secular celebration of Irish culture
The Leprechaun is said to be a mythical creature from Irish folklore. They are typically described as short, red-haired faeries dressed entirely in green suits with often a clover accent. It is believed by many that leprechauns are mischievous beings, “practical jokers” one may add
A shamrock is a type of clover, used as a symbol of Ireland.
