About Saint Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated each year on March 17th.  In Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day is both a holy day and a national holiday.  Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland as he was the one who brought Christianity to the Irish. 
The legend says that St. Patrick miraculously drove (snakes) from Ireland by banging a drum . The snakes may represent paganism, driven out of Ireland.
To explain the doctrine of the Trinity, St. Patrick compared a (shamrock) (similar to a three-leaf clover) with its three leaves to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost combined to make the holy Trinity. From that time the shamrock has been the symbol of the land. Irishmen wear it in their hats on the saint's day.
March 17th is the anniversary of the death of Saint Patrick. In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day is a holy, religious time with praying, singing and dancing.

The (leprechan) is Ireland's national fairy. Leprechauns are represented as shoemakers. They are guardians of ancient treasures left by the Danes and keep gold coins in pots that they hide at the end of a (rainbow). If you catch a leprechaun, he will promise you (pots of gold) if you let him go free.
