The Story of Saint Patrick’s Day
Let’s start off with the story about Saint Patrick’s Day. This is taken from the book “The Story of Saint Patrick’s Day” by Patricia A. Pingry Illustrated by Pamela R. Levy
Each year on March 17, we celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day. We like to wear green. We make paper shamrocks and harps. We dress up like leprechauns. And we remember a man called Saint Patrick. Patrick lived many years ago. As a young boy, he was taken to Ireland. He had to take care of the sheep. Patrick missed his family. He prayed to God to send him home. One day, Patrick did go back home. But now Patrick missed Ireland. So he studied hard and became a priest. Patrick went back to Ireland. He built churches. He told the Irish people about God. And one story says that Patrick told all the snakes to leave Ireland. And they did! A plant called a shamrock grows in Ireland. Patrick taught that it’s three leaves stand for God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. One Saint Patrick’s Day, some people dress up like leprechauns. Leprechauns are make-believe. Other people dance the Irish jig to the music of the harp. The harm is the national instrument of Ireland. Many towns have Saint Patrick’s Day parades. On Saint Patrick’s Day we have fun with leprechauns, shamrocks, and harps. And we remember a godly man, called Saint Patrick.
