St. Patrick's Day - Clover and Leprechauns

Ranked #4,551 in Holidays & Celebrations, #58,534 overall

Are you Irish?

No, I'm not Irish. St. But Patrick's Day is one of my favorite celebrations. I love the clovers, leprechauns and green beer! Corned Beef and Cabbage, Irish Soda Bread a meal fit for a king. But not an Irish King. Would it surprise you to know that Corned Beef is not an Irish meal but rather an American dish that came about in Boston. Where ever, whatever, still love it and make it every March 17th.

Did I mention Green is my favorite color!

Leprechanuns and Laughter

Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter.
Lullabies, dreams and love ever after.
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes...
That's the Irish for You



The 4 Leaf Clover


The leaves of the 4 leaf clover symbolize FAITH, HOPE, LOVE and LUCK

In Irish tradition the Shamrock or 3-leaf Clover represents the Holy Trinity: one leaf for the Father, one for the Son and one for the Holy Spirit. When a Shamrock is found with the fourth leaf, it represents God's Grace.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SHAMROCK AND CLOVER?????
The size, a shamrock is smaller.

Legend of The Leprechaun


The Leprechaun is an Irish fairy. He looks like a small, old man (about 2 feet tall), often dressed like a shoemaker, with a cocked hat and a leather apron. According to legend, leprechauns are aloof and unfriendly, live alone, and pass the time making shoes. They also possess a hidden pot of gold. Treasure hunters can often track down a leprechaun by the sound of his shoemaker's hammer. If caught, he can be forced (with the threat of bodily violence) to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, but the captor must keep their eyes on him every second. If the captor's eyes leave the leprechaun (and he often tricks them into looking away), he vanishes and all hopes of finding the treasure are lost.

Near a misty stream in Ireland in the hollow of a tree
Live mystical, magical leprechauns
who are clever as can be
With their pointed ears, and turned up toes and little coats of green
The leprechauns busily make their shoes and try hard not to be seen.
Only those who really believe have seen these little elves
And if we are all believers
We can surely see for ourselves.

An Irish Blessing For You


May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
