Do you know that...?
1. St. Patrick´s Day is an annual feast day celebrating the patron saint of Ireland. It is a national holiday and it´s usually celebrated on March 17th.
2. People usually eat corned beef and cabbage.
3. It is believed that St Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland.
4. One of the Irish traditions is to pinch anyone who is not wearing green in St. Patrick´s Day.
5. The leprechaun is a small Irish fairy. He is dressed in green with pointed shoes and a hat. Leprechauns are supposed to be unfrendly little men who live alone in the forest, spending all their time making shoes and guarding their treasures.
6. If someone catches a leprechaun, he will be forced to tell where he hides all his pots of gold.
