Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated internationally on 17 March, by the Irish in Ireland and in big cities (London, New York, Madrid, Sevilla...) and small towns with huge parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Its a time for fun. The most important celebration for Irish, some communities even go so far as to dye RIVERS IN GREEN! 






Well now St. Patrick's Day wouldn't exist if not for the man himself! But how much do we know about him? Do you want to know the history of St Patrick's day? Check this video out!





St Patrick's is a day for fun for everyone, with plenty of food and Guiness beer apart from parades, music, drums, dance... Spring is about to begin and the Irish know how to celebrate it, or don't your remember this famous scene?



So I hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day and remember: Leprechauns hide their pots of gold at the end of the rainbow and - as they may be parading now- it is probably the perfect time to look for them.
Good Luck!


By the way, did you know what St. Patrick's was about?
Do you have a similar celebration in your city?
What's your opinion on these types of celebrations?

  1. I love St. Patrick's Day! I have never been into a celebration like it, and I love that scene from Titanic. I wish we had something like that here but except of the parties in the Irish pubs, we don't have it...

  2. I think we have some different similar events in our country, but it is nice to know other culture's celebrations, isn't it? :)

  3. This party is popular in Irland but I only watch this party in the TV.
    I watch a chapter in the Simspsons about this party and there are only a very drunk people.
    Ah! The people is dressed of the colour green.
