☘️ What is St. Patrick’s Day?
St. Patrick’s Day is a special day that celebrates St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. He helped bring Christianity to Ireland a long time ago. Today, people all over the world celebrate Irish culture on this day!
🌟 Why Do People Wear Green?
Wearing green is a big tradition on St. Patrick’s Day! Some people say it’s because:
✅ Ireland is called the “Emerald Isle” because it’s so green.
✅ Green is the color of shamrocks, a symbol of luck.
✅ Leprechauns (silly little fairies) can’t see green, so they won’t pinch you if you wear it.!
🍀 What is a Shamrock?
A shamrock is a small, green plant with three leaves. St. Patrick used it to teach people about kindness and friendship. Now, it’s a symbol of good luck!
🧚 Who Are Leprechauns?
Leprechauns are tiny, mischievous fairies from Irish stories. They love gold and hide it at the end of a rainbow! If you ever see one, be quick—because they run super fast! 🏃💨
