About St Patricks Day

March 17 marks the death of Saint Patrick, a missionary who was brought to Ireland as an enslaved teenager, escaped, and later returned to preach. Legend credits him with driving the snakes out of the country, though Ireland has no native snakes to begin with. The three-leaved shamrock, tradition says, served as his teaching tool for explaining the Trinity. Parades, Gaelic music on the fiddle, and the color green now carry the day far beyond Dublin.

A teacher or activity leader planning something for mid-March that goes past green cupcakes.
