Yes. I'd suggest rinsing it first. But its perfectly fine to eat a four leaf clover.

Though, our bodies don't digest regular grass and weeds plants that well as can sheep, deer, and all other grazing creatures. They have special stomach juices that digest cellulose fiber extremely well. Just eat beef or deer meet to get your grass nutrition since they will have eaten and digested the grass goods for us!

• They guard the gold at the end of the rainbow.
• The name leprechaun may have derived from the Irish leath bhrogan (shoemaker), although its origins may lie in luacharma'n (Irish for pygmy). These apparently aged, diminutive men are frequently to be found in an intoxicated state, caused by home-brew poteen. However they never become so drunk that the hand which holds the hammer becomes unsteady and their shoemaker's work affected. Leprechauns have also become self-appointed guardians of ancient treasure (left by the Danes when they marauded through Ireland), burying it in crocks or pots. This may be one reason why leprechauns tend to avoid contact with humans whom they regard as foolish, flighty (and greedy?) creatures. If caught by a mortal, he will promise great wealth if allowed to go free. He carries two leather pouches. In one there is a silver shilling, a magical coin that returns to the purse each time it is paid out. In the other he carries a gold coin which he uses to try and bribe his way out of difficult situations. This coin usually turns to leaves or ashes once the leprechaun has parted with it.However, you must never take your eye off him, for he can vanish in an instant.
• They also do a lot of cereal advertising.

Saint Patrick's Cross (or Saint Patrick's Saltire) is a red saltire (X-shaped cross) on a white field.

After the 1800 Act of Union joined Ireland with the Kingdom of Great Britain, the saltire was added to the British flag

Tattoos count! If you have green in your tattoo you are safe from getting pinched.

On St. Patrick's Day we commemorate the life of St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland.

Saint Patrick is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. St. Patrick's Day, the 17th of March, is Ireland's national holiday. Because there are so many Irish people around the world, and people who claim Irish ancestry, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in many parts of the world.

Patrick used the shamrock to explain or illustrate the Blessed Trinity. One leaf, three parts: One God, three persons.

In America it is tradition for EVERYONE to wear something green. School kids have a tradition of their own, if you are caught without something green: you get a pinch. Not a mean pinch, it's all in fun. It is also considered good luck to wear green on St. Patrick's day. Wearing green also serves as making you Irish by proxy, if you are not actually Irish. America has a huge population of Irish descendants.

They can usually be found within the same patch.

One answer is we don't , it's a holiday so we'd enjoy a 'drink' or 10 . In years gone by, people would wear a sprig of shamrock on their clothes for the day , go to mass, go to see the local parade of bands and floats, then head to the pub. Nowadays it's more likely to adorn your cars with tricolour flags , go to see the local parade, go to local events, then go to the pub.

Sporran is the name of that pouch that are worn with the kilt. The Utility Kilt is offering all types of sporrans including dress sporrans, leather sporrans and horse hair sporrans. theutilitykilt .com

There are many Irish dishes involving potatoes. Colcannon is a dish made of potato and one of wild garlic (the earliest form), cabbage or curly kale, (compare bubble and squeak). Champ is a combination of mashed potato and egg, into which chopped scallions (spring onions) are mixed.

Other examples of simple Irish meals are Irish stew, and also bacon and cabbage (boiled together in water). Boxty is another traditional dish. A dish mostly particular to Dublin is coddle, which involves boiled pork sausages. Ireland is famous for the Irish breakfast, consisting mainly of pork, and, particularly in Ulster, fried potato farls.

Seafood has never been a mainstay of the Irish diet, despite the country being an island, but many dishes have developed nonetheless, and it has gained popularity, especially due to the high quality of shellfish--e.g. Dublin Bay Prawns, Galway Oysters (an oyster festival is held in Galway every September where oysters are often served with Guinness). Salmon and cod are perhaps the two most common types of fish used. Hotels might also serve oysters and mussels.

Traditional Irish breads include soda bread, wheaten bread, soda farls, and blaa, a doughy white bread roll particular to Waterford.

The French would not particularly celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Irish people in France or French people in Ireland will celebrate. Irish people in France would get together with friends and maybe have a meal or a few drinks. French people in Ireland would join in the local festivities such as the parades that happen around Ireland. It is also a bank holiday in Ireland, so most people will not be working. It is not a bank holiday in France.

The 40 leaf clovers are real and can be found in Ireland.

Nothing. My friend found over twenty and gave them to our entire soccer team. We still lost the following game.

Irish Catholics wear green, and Irish Protestants wear orange. This is because of the first Protest King William of Orange. St. Patrick was neither Catholic nor Protestant, he was Christian, as he was alive long before the Protestant Revolution.

Answer:

I myself do not wear green nor orange on Saint Patrick's day because either colour worn on that day would show an allegiance to one side or the other of this stupid rivalry between the Catholics (green) and the Protestants (orange). These two camps have been murdering each other (and innocent bystanders) for hundreds of years. It is totally sick.

If you think I am wrong, try wearing the wrong colour at one side or another's parade or football game in Britain and see what a "Christian" does to you. It's no different or better than the Crips verses the Bloods, or the Hell's Angels verses the Banditos. It's just as stupid but has been going on for much longer. And no amount of justifying the violence for one side or the other makes it right.

Wearing green or orange on that day would be like being in Africa and wearing something that identified oneself with either the Hutu or Tutsi tribes in Africa which have been hacking each other to death on and off for decades. Who would want to identify with either side?

You could wear their colours, but when you know what has been associated with the whole thing, why would you want to?

No one knows but he was captured when he was 16.

3-Leaf Clover, is Ireland's most recognized National Symbol.In mind of this St. Patrick used to the Shamrock to explain the concept of the holy trinity - that God was composed of three entities - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - yet each entitiy was part of the other just like the shamrock has three leaves but a single stem.
