Happy St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick was the bishop and patron saint of Ireland.Today is his feast day. During his lifetime, Saint Patrick performed many miracles. I regard him with the utmost respect, and pray to him for help which I really need.

Many folks celebrate his feast day by drinking green beer, wearing green clothes(In my school days, I recall that if I wasn’t wearing anything green, I would get pinched.), and looking for shamrocks, specifically a four leaf clover . I don’t know where or when these practices originated.(If you know drop me a line.)  I have never had the pleasure of tasting green beer. (I don’t drink now, so I will never how it tastes.)  However, I admit looking for a four leaf shamrock when I collected insects, never saw one, though.
