Of the Week

Yo yo yo, whats shaking? I hope you're all having a great weekend everyone. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! What are you all doing to celebrate this wonderful day? Me? I'm just sitting at home, being bored... Yup.. Ain't it fun? But that is all gonna end some day because on my bucket list, is "Spend at least one St. Patrick's Day in Ireland." Would you like to learn some fascinating facts about St. Patrick's Day? Of course you would what a stupid question!

• St. Patrick's Day is observed on March 17 because that is the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he died on March 17 in the year 461 AD. It is also a worldwide celebration of Irish culture and history. St. Patrick's Day is a national holiday in Ireland, and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
• The actual colour of St. Patrick is blue. Green became associated with St. Patrick's Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by fairies and immortals, and also by people to encourage their crops to grow.
• Lucky Charms, a favourite cereal brand amoung many, young and old, was created in 1963, with its popular mascot, Lucky the Leprechaun.
• In Ireland on St. Patrick's Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair.
• The phrase, "Drowning The Shamrock" is from the custom of floating the shamrock on the top of whiskey before drinking it. The Irish believe that if you keep the custom, then you will have a prosperous year.

Well there ya go! I hope you all learned something new! :D
