"It's not easy being green." ~Kermit the Frog.
Today is Saint Patrick's Day! A time to celebrate irish history and culture.
It's been celebrated for over a thousand years, and mostly in by the Roman
Catholic Church in Ireland. Vivian has been to Ireland actually, and above are
some of her favorite pictures she has taken there!! St. Patrick has to be the most
prominent figure in this holiday, and the reason being is that he brought
Christianity to Ireland. It is said to be on this date mainly because they
believe that he died on March 17, 461 AD. We celebrate this holiday worldwide
though; by wearing green, pinching each other, drinking green beer, feasting,
and respect the Irish culture. Four-leaf clovers' rare occurrences are still
known to be lucky, and the estimate is supposedly around 10,000 three-leaf
clovers for ever lucky four-leaf one :)Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
