St Patrick’s Day is a global celebration of Irish culture on or around March 17. It particularly remembers Saint Patrick, one of Ireland’s patron saints, who ministered Christianity in Ireland.
Many people choose to wear the color green in St Patrick’s Day parades around the world. Many people from Ireland fled to other parts of the world, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since then many Irish customs, including the St Patrick’s Day celebrations, became quite popular in these countries. It is also considered another opportunity for family and friends to get together and enjoy a day outdoors. It seems as if the entire town or city is on the street with picnic baskets, umbrellas, and their recreational vehicles...enjoying one of the biggest street parties of the year! Men and women in walking groups dress in costumes of green and give out flowers, beads, and kisses to lucky parade goers along the route.
The most common St Patrick's Day symbol is the shamrock. The shamrock is the leaf of the clover plant and a symbol of the Holy Trinity. According to tradition, such clovers bring good luck, in addition, each leaf is believed to represent something: the first is for faith, the second is for hope, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.
St. Patrick's 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!
Get your Lucky clover today to never feel lonely and always be loved!
