    These are some great facts about the origin of St. Patty’s day. I will have to show this to my kids so that they are more informed.

    I had no idea about a lot of them. I personally don’t celebrate the day but we do dress in green. 🙂

    Wow! So many things on that list that I didn’t know! I guess I’m pretty out of touch with the origins of St. Patrick’s Day. I think it’s really important to teach kids where holidays come from, so I’ll be saving these tips for lessons later!

    I didn’t know St. Patrick was never canonized! I wonder if that can be done posthumously. I was unaware of a few of these facts – how neat to have them all together like this! Cool beans.

    I can’t believe I never learned these things about St. Patrick growing up. The history is so much different than how I thought!

    I didn’t know many of these facts. Like that St. Patrick used the clover to demonstrate the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. That’s too cool!

      We have also used the egg analogy before to describe the trinity as well… the shell, the egg white and the egg yolk.
      I personally like the clover one so much better!

    This is a very informative post. All this time I thought St. Patricks was a Drinking Holiday. I had no idea it was deeply rooted in Christianity
