    Meet St. Patrick


     
    Saint Patrick's Day (March 17th), is an Irish holiday honoring Saint Patrick, the missionary priest who
    converted the Irish people to Christianity in the A.D. 400's.

    Saint Patrick was not actually Irish. History says that he was born around 373 A.D. in either
    Scotland or in Britain. His real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat . He did not change his name to
    Patrick, or Patricus, until after he became a Catholic priest.
    He was kidnapped at the age of 16 by pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland. He was a prisoner for
    about 6 years. They made him work as worked as a shepherd. He had a vision from God that he should
    escape and help others. He could find a getaway ship and went to France, where he became a priest.

    When he was about 60 years old, St. Patrick traveled to Ireland to spread the Christian word. He built
    many churches and helped many people.

    Legend has it that Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland -- that they all went into the sea and
    drowned.

    Learn about Rainbows

    A rainbow appears when sunlight passes through bits of water in the air. The white light is broken up into
    many colors. Use the pretend name Roy G. Biv as a handy way to remember the colors of the rainbow in
    the right order -- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Now you may not see all of these
    colors in a rainbow, but they'll usually be in order with red at the top and violet at the bottom, and the
    other colors in the middle. This is because of the way sunlight is reflected by raindrops. The more
    raindrops, the bigger the rainbow and the more colors! Sometimes, you might see a paler, second
    rainbow next to the first -- this one will have the colors in reverse order. You can't reach the edge of a
    rainbow for the same reason you can't walk under one and look at it from the other side. This is because
    rainbows are an optical illusion -- the sun must always be at your back in order to see one. No two
    people ever see the same rainbow!

    Symbols of the Holidays


     

    Leprechauns are a make-believe group of tiny people who are supposed to


    live in Ireland and posses magical powers. They are said to be cranky and
    very tricky. Leprechauns are also called "Little People." Leprechauns
    originated in Celtic folklore but are now associated with St. Patrick's Day.
     
    Leprechauns wear green clothes and hats. They are often seen smoking a
    pipe. They carry a long stick called a shillelagh.

    The Shamrock is a symbol of St. Patrick's Day. The shamrock is a flowering


    plant that has three leaflets. It is a type of clover.
