xDD March 17th? I have class. My professor's birthday is that day, so she says the whole world parties....for her that day. I'm not much of a party-goer, but I just usually wear green. [I wish I had some orange, but I don't. x3] This year I'm doing something special. Making a bulletin board for class with facts under shamrocks: [Facts are kind of simple, it is geared towards children, elementary ed. lol]
34 million United States residents are Irish. Chicago dyes the Chicago River green on St. Patrick's Day. The Irish flag is green, white and orange. The green symbolizes the people of the south, and orange, the people of the north. White represents the peace that brings them together as a nation. The color green is commonly associated with Ireland, also known as “the Emerald Isle.” Colonial New York City hosted the first official St. Patrick's Day parade in 1762. The highest number of leaves found on a clover is 14! Some American towns have “Irish” names: Shamrock Lakes, Indiana; Shamrock, Oklahoma; Shamrock, Texas; Dublin, California and Dublin, Ohio. Legend says that each leaf of the clover means something: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and the fourth for luck. One estimate suggests that there are about 10 000 regular three-leaf clovers for every lucky four-leaf clover.
