Do you get punched on st Patrick's day if you wear red?
Well, technically you can get punched any day of the year for any reason, but wearing red on Saint Patrick's Day is no longer a legitimate reason to get socked. That was a tradition of drunk celebrators that went out in the early to mid 80's. To my knowledge, Saint Patrick never slapped anyone for wearing red in his lifetime.
What is the love story behind St Valentine's Day?
There is only the legend of one. In the legend, Saint Valentine is sent to jail for assisting Christians or refusing to convert to paganism. While there, he heals the jailer's daughter of her blindness, and sends her letters signed "your Valentine." Since the legend was written many many years after the life of Saint Valentine, there is no way to know if it is actually true.

Why are four leave clovers lucky?
Four leaved clovers are lucky because they are rare to find, and they represent faith and hope. Once, when my sister and I came home from school, and we got out of the car, I spotted a four leaved clover faster than a millisecond! I told my mom I found it, and I thought my sister was behind me, but when I turned around, she had two and I mean 2!!! Five leaved clovers in her hand!! Then, I found ANOTHER four leaved clover! My mom said our yard was an unusual yard....... I'm sorry I got off topic of my answer. You know, you only had to read the first sentence. Unless you WANTED to listen to a story... Then, yeah.
