St. Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. He was captured by pirates, but after six long years of slavery, he escaped to France and became a monk. He was responsible for bringing Christianity to Ireland and used a shamrock (Ireland's national flower) to explain the Blessed Trinity.
There are a lot of legends in relation to this saint. One of them is about a leprechaun. It is said that this little man wears green clothes and keeps a pot of gold. However, this pot of gold is found in the rainbow.
Another symbol that is related to St. Patrick's day is the shamrock, which is a clover. It is also believed that if a person finds a four-leaf clover, it will bring him/her good luck.
St. Patrick's day reminds me of an Irish co-worker who used to teach at Thomas Jefferson a few years ago. She would always bake a green cake and prepare some green soda for us. She would also perform a typical Irish dance in our school. Her name is Mary F. O'Connell and I miss her a lot.
Happy St. Patrick's Day for everybody!
