Celebrate St. Paddy's with a Touch of Green

St. Patrick's Day celebrated on March 17, observed by the Irish as a religious holiday for over a thousand years. Traditionally Irish families would attend church and then celebrate during the afternoon of this holiday. Dancing, drinking and feasting is a celebration of this day today. For more on the history of this day, see Knowing St. Patrick.

Green is the color associated with St. Patrick's Day. The shamrock (three-leafed plant), is said to be used by Saint, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish.

Where is the number one St. Patrick's Day festival in the United States held?

Make your own green beer. Enjoy the collection of gift ideas from beer making kit accessories, funny Irish t-shirts, jokes, pet clothing, stickers, wall clocks and article collection associated with this day.

Add your St. Patrick's Zazzle product line in the plexo and I will add an item from it to this lens. Additional plexos are now added to turn this into a combination article, gift and Angel blessing page. If you have any St. Patrick's gifts on Amazon, contact me through email and I will add them here too. Or include them in another article.

Knowing St. Patrick
March 17 is St. Patrick's Day. This is the day St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D. His life is a mystery, though many of us are familiar with the story of how he banished all the snakes from Ireland. This of course is a myth.
