rich history and deep meaning and we're
gonna have to talk about these guys too
are they part of the rich history in the
deep meeting of st. Patrick's Day no but
you know leprechauns they're fairies you
might not know that a leprechaun is a
fairy we're gonna talk a little bit
about leprechauns in this video too but
they're part of this whole thing as well
it's all it's all part of st. Patrick's
Day right st. Patrick's Day is
celebrated in many different countries
but is an official holiday in the
Republic of Ireland in Northern Ireland
which is actually not a part of the
Republic of Ireland but is just north of
it and as part of the United Kingdom in
the Canadian provinces of Newfoundland
and Labrador and in the Caribbean island
of Montserrat it's a really small
Caribbean island that has a large Irish
population which is why celebrating
Saint Patrick's Day is so important
there they made it in a fish
holiday these are the places where it's
an official holiday but as we said it's
celebrating a lot of different places
for example while not an official
holiday it is widely celebrated in the
USA here's a picture of a parade going
on in New York celebrating Saint
Patrick's Day and this is so fascinating
the first st. Patrick's Day parade was
in New York in the 1760 that was so long
ago that was before the United States of
America was even a country right how
incredible is that when you see this
picture of all these people this parade
parades have been going on for st.
Patrick's Day in the USA for hundreds of
years and they go crazy for Saint
Patrick's Day in Chicago too you know
every year the Kelly River in Chicago is
dyed green for st. Patrick's Day I mean
these kittens are in green water it's
incredible it's beautiful and I think it
looks yummy I mean I would just love to
just drink all this green water I mean
doesn't that look good isn't isn't green
a yummy color for what no am I I'm the
only one right okay all right I guess
I'm all right just me all right speaking
of green green is the color of st.
Patrick's Day but it used to be that way
prepare to be shocked amazed stunned you
might not even believe what you're
hearing but blue used to be st.
Patrick's color
[Music]
in 1798 during the Irish rebellion
people used green to symbolize their
love of country and make the green
clover a national symbol
ever since 1798 st. Patrick's Day has
been all about the green right and
everyone seems to love wearing green
when they celebrate st. Patrick's Day
not just this guy with the green beer
anymore I mean baby celebrate st.
Patrick's Day look at this picture of a
baby who's celebrating Saint Patrick's
Day
wearing that green even babies get to
enjoy this holiday not only that look at
this picture of a dog that got caught
wearing green on st. Patrick's Day this
dog is celebrating st. Patrick's Day a
common way to celebrate st. Patrick's
Day is with green clovers remember
clovers became a national symbol in 1798
with the Irish rebellion remembering the
color green and clovers are symbols of
st. Patrick's Day you can do a craft
with green clovers you can wear green
clovers on your clothing you control
them it's a great way to celebrate
people also celebrate Saint Patrick's
Day with great food a traditional meal
is corned beef potatoes carrots and
cabbage all together a nice hearty meal
lots of meat lots of yummy vegetables
and it's something that a lot of people
like to eat as they celebrate the Irish
heritage and st. Patrick's Day but
clovers and corned beef aren't the only
symbols associated with Saint Patrick's
Day
there's also leprechauns and we promise
we talk about leprechauns leprechauns
are a type of fairy that are found in
Irish tales and stories but they're not
fairies like Tinkerbell they look like
little bearded men with a coat and hat
in these Irish tales and stories they
spend their time making and fixing shoes
and have a pot of gold hidden at the end
of the rainbow and in these Irish
stories when a leprechaun is caught he
must grant wishes to become free again
now we mentioned earlier Saint Patrick's
Day is a holiday with rich history and
deep meaning it's not just about the
color green or clovers or eating corn
beef or about leprechauns
[Music]
the holiday is named after Saint Patrick
who lived over 1500 years ago and he
wasn't originally from Ireland his story
is a very dramatic one when he was only
16 years old he was taken away from his
home in Wales by Irish pirates for six
years he was away from home before he
escaped now this is what's amazing
instead of being angry at the people of
Ireland for what happened
he actually had a heart for them and
wanted to share his faith and his life
with them so he went back to Ireland to
be a blessing and he was able to help so
many people in the country that the
country of Ireland was never the same
st. Patrick's Day is an amazing time to
celebrate Irish culture and traditions
to tell stories about leprechauns eat
corned beef and to turn the water of
Chicago green I still think it's yummy
I'd still drink that water
it's a holiday that honors the faith of
a man who had a heart to bless and love
the same people who mistreated him
and it teaches us this lesson never to
let anything stop you from doing what is
right
st. Patrick had every excuse not to do
what he felt called to do he was
mistreated he was taken away from his
home but he didn't let anything stop him
and you can live that kind of life too
