Saint Patrick's Day

no

The three leaf clover was used by St. Patrick to represent the Holy Trinity, Father, So, and Holy Spirit.

On St. Patrick's Day, the Empire State Building is often illuminated in green to celebrate the holiday and honor Irish culture. This tradition attracts tourists and locals alike, who gather to admire the festive lighting. In addition to the illumination, various events and celebrations take place in the vicinity, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the day in New York City.

Chicago dyes the Chicago River green each year to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. This tradition began in 1962 and involves using a special vegetable dye that turns the water a vibrant green for several hours. The event attracts numerous spectators and is part of the city's larger St. Patrick's Day festivities.

Was Patrick the bishop of Rome? No. That would have made him the pope and he was never a pope.

HI

Let me assume it is a case of a unmarried couple.

Its not only kiss but also about everything u do with your counterpart that may lead to this type of situation.

When you are with your counterpart you Should take a care that whatever you are doing is acceptable to him or her. it may happen in the present situation your counter part may not b able to stop you for doing whatever you are doing with him. Either the environment/surrounding or ur wishes may force him not to stop you. at later part he/she reliases that it was not correct what happened. this lead to some kind bad feeling about you.

But you need not to woory about this situation. if u think u r coorect at ur side, just let her/him ignore for 2-3 days, do appear in front of him then genetly start talking and try to ease the situation.

IT WORKS DAER

regards

Saint Patrick was born about 385 in Scotland. His parents, Calpurnius and Conchessa, were Catholic Romans living in Britain in charge of the colonies. This might even make Saint Patrick an Italian. At the age of fourteen, raiders captured Patrick and took him as a slave to Ireland, a land of Druids and pagans. Patrick learned the Irish language and customs. While a slave, Patrick's faith in God grew and he wrote "The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was raised, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same." "I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain." When Patrick was twenty, he had a dream in which God told him to leave Ireland by going to the coast. He escaped and found a boat that took him back to Britain and his family. Later Patrick dreamed that Irish were calling, "We beg you, holy youth, to come and walk among us once more." Patrick studied, became a priest, and, later, a bishop. In 433, he went to take the Gospel to Ireland. Patrick preached the Gospel throughout Ireland, converted thousands, and began building churches. Patrick is famous for using the shamrock (a three-leaf clover) to explain the Trinity. Patrick preached for 40 years and died on March 17, 461 at Saul, where he had built the first church. Patrick's feast day is March 17 and he is the patron saint of Ireland.

It was a tradition started long ago. People believed that if you wore green you would be invisible to leprechauns. So it was a warning to those who didn't wear green to put some on before a leprechaun found them.

You have to be wearing something green like a green shirt or pants in order to be pinch free. Barrets and jewlery do not count. If someone pinches you and you are wearing green you get to pinch them back 10 times, the same will be for you so beware! Otherwise you can just pinch anyone that does not have green on. Happy pinching!

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 and the Protestants. 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.

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

Yes, it is not a national holiday. Schools are always in session unless they are on Spring Break or it is on a weekend. Unless their school lets them out for a particular reason, like teachers in service.

The stone is believed by some to be half of the original Stone of Scone, and said to have been presented to Cormac McCarthy by Robert the Bruce in 1314 in recognition of his support in the Battle of Bannockburn. The proprietors of Blarney Castle list several alternative explanations for the origins of the Stone and its supposed powers, all of which suppose that the Stone had previously been in Ireland but was then taken to Scotland and returned to Ireland in 1314. The stories they list include: * the Stone was the stone that Jacob used as a pillow, and was brought to Ireland by the prophet Jeremiah * the Stone was the Stone of Ezel, which David hid behind on Jonathan's advice, while fleeing from King Saul, and may have been brought back to Ireland during the Crusades * the Stone was the rock that Moses struck with his staff to produce water for the Israelites, during their flight from Egypt

The day after Hallowe'en is All Saints' Day.

They get to pinch you back!
