We dressed in green and learnt much new information about St. Patrick. He was born in Britain, kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave. His main achievement was trying to convert pagan Ireland to Christianity. And what about the famous symbols associated with St. Patrick's Day? Firstly, the shamrock was meant to explain the Holy Trinity. Moreover, the colour of the shamrock and the reputation of Ireland as the Emerald Isle, finally led to wearing green on St. Patrick's Day. Secondly, leprechauns have existed in Irish folklore for centuries. It is said that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, which like to pinch anyone they can see! So don't forget to wear green on St. Patrick's Day, i e. 17th March. :)
