Superstitions About St Patick and
The Luck of the IrishDia Dhuit! (Hello) from Ireland!!
Spring is here and the sun is shining - I hope it stays that way for the celebrations here on St Patricks Day - 17 th March 2010... you may ask yourself "So What's it all about?" Well the truth is - St Patrick was born in Wales... St Patrick was a god-send to Ireland and it's also said he converted many pagans to Christians... and made many churches...
The shamrock is worn as it represents the concept of The Holy Trinity - being - The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. St Patrick uses a simple green herb to explain the above re the shamrock ... people go into pubs and come out wearing green shamrock hats! Over here in Ireland... you see lots of kids all dressed up in green and with their parents going to watch the parades... it really is a great time in Ireland on this very special day - and one that no matter what religion you are - everyone loves this day! There is something I feel that is really interesting about Ireland - we were not the first to actually celebrate this beautiful day - St Patricks day in Ireland at one time was a "Holy Day" and there were no celebrations - no pubs open - everyone used to stay in or go to chapel and this was right up until 1970! New York City was the first to celebrate St Patricks Day back in 1772... County Armagh and County Down pay tribute to St Patrick and has the largest celebration of the Patron Saint in Northern Ireland. We have parades, we even have green beer! And it is tradition to drink this on this special occassion.
There are lots of festivals across the country so you can see what a special day this is to me with me being Irish! People go out of their way to dress in green and to have shamrocks pinned onto their coats or jumpers...

An Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
