Well It is the 17th of March and The Wearin o the Green is Upon us!
St Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. Before Patrick was a priest converting the Irish to Catholicism He was a Shepard who had been kidnapped from England and brought to Ireland. He escaped and returned as a priest. The rest is history.
But today, We wear green and drink green beer. And lets not forget that we go to the St Patrick's Day Parade! Well, the first parade was actually in Boston in 1737. Not Ireland. The largest St Patrick Days Parade is in New York City. It began in 1762.
As more and more Irish came over to America the holiday Grew and grew. Now Everybody is Irish on March 17th!
How Irish are you? Take this Fun quiz!
Have a Safe and Fun Day!
Good luck and God Bless you!
