St. Patrick was born more than 1,600 years ago. When he was young, he was a slave in Ireland. Later he told the Irish people about God. St. Patrick died when he was 75. He was named Irelands saint. He watches over the people.
Over the years, many Irish people came to the United States. They still loved St. Patrick. They honored his day here, too. People who were not Irish enjoyed the day with them. They still do.
There are many parades on St. Patricks Day. Bands play music. People wave Irish flags. Crowds watch and cheer. Sometimes the White House turns its fountain green!
People cook Irish foods. They eat corned beef and cabbage. Many people like potatoes and soda bread, too. Look for cakes and cookies with green icing!
People tell Irish stories. They play Irish music. People may play bagpipes. They make a great sound. Dance an Irish jig!
Green stands for Irelands fields. Shamrocks stand for good luck. Leprechauns are little men in Irish stories. They play tricks on people. These things make people think of Ireland.
St. Patricks Day is on March 17th. That is the day he died. You do not have to be Irish to love this day. On this day, everyone is Irish.
Ireland has many fields of green grass. This year on St. Patricks Day, you can grow some green grass of your own.
- small package of oat seeds (You can find these at animal feed stores and some garden centers.)
- small plastic or paper cup
- potting soil
- water
Put about an inch of potting soil in the cup. Cover the top of the soil with oat seeds. Cover the seeds with a very thin layer of soil. Be sure not to put on too much soil. Add some water to wet the soil.
Place the cup in a sunny window. Water it a bit every day. In about five days, you will have your own cup of green grass. Happy St. Patricks Day!
