Saint Patrick's Day

there are 10,000 3 leaf clovers for every 4 leaf colver

Kissing the blarney stone gives you the "gift of the gab". You'll supposedly be very talkative, and spreading "blarney" (or BS). The tradition of kissing the Blarney Stone is said to bestow eloquence on the kisser. To be able to kiss the stone you have to dangle yourself from a position from which, if you fell, you would meet your demise. http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/ireland/blarney_stone.html

To preserve a clover, flower, seed, or almost anything biotic or abiotic, simply use this easy trick:

1) Pick whatever you want to preserve (clover for example).

2) Moisten a paper towel.

3) Wrap the clover in the moist/damp paper towel.

4) Put it in the refrigerator.

Remember: nothing lasts forever but it will last awhile.

St. Patrick used the three-leaf clover to illustrate the Holy Trinity, the triune God of Christian theology. It is an imperfect analogy, as all analogies are, but a strong symbol to those of the Christian faith, due to it's shape and wide spread occurrence around the globe.

"Beannachtaí Lá Fheile Padraig Duit" lá fheile Padraig shona duit

Well, they are really rare, and they are filled with good luck :)

the term originates from many centuries ago when an Irishman by the name of Times Shermend was out in the vally and drank so much whiskey that he ended up stumbling off a huge cliff and landed in a huge patch of clovers that saved his life. This explains why Irishmen love the clover

I'm not sure what the origin of the term is but it's not this stupid answer.

Because Irish people like green and they have something to do with good luck and so one day a man found a four leaf clover ( he was an Irish man ) and he showed the whole town and that became their tradition.

Saint Patrick's Day.

Traditional food on saint patricks day is cabbage with either ham or bacon and , of course, beer.

The Celts called their idea of heaven "Green Erin" a nickname eventually given to Ireland. Green is the symbolic color of St. Patrick's Day because of his ministry as the 2nd Bishop to Ireland, also known as the "Emerald Isle" due to the lush ground cover of clover over the entire country, and because of Patrick's creation of the Order of the Green martyrs-those who were missionaries to Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Briton. St. Patrick was also known for being the first to use the Irish 3 leaf clover, also called the Shamrock, or Tri-foil, as an illustration of the doctrine of the Trinity. More information: The Irish don't wear green as such. The colour is used on flags, banners, team colours etc. traditional colour - first Irish flag, represents St. Patrick etc. It seems to be more of a stereo type. In films etc

It's not just Irish. It's actually pretty universal. For example, France use it as their national lottery logo.

Five miles north west of the small city of Cork is the village of Blarney - its name being derived from the Irish An blarna meaning 'the plain'. Near the village, standing almost 90 feet in height, is the solidly built castle of Blarney. Cormac MacCarthy erected the present castle, the third constructed at the site, in 1446. Built on a rock, above several caves, the tower originally had three storeys. On the top storey, just below the battlements on the parapet, is the world famous Blarney Stone, said to give the gift of eloquence to all who kiss it. Kissing the stone is for some people a difficult physical feat. In past times, to kiss the Stone people were hung by their heels over the edge of the parapet. One day a pilgrim broke from the grasp of his friends and went hurtling downward to certain death. Since that time the stone has been kissed by another method. First, you sit with your back towards the stone and then someone sits upon your legs or firmly holds your feet. Next, leaning far back and downward into the abyss while grasping the iron rails, you pull yourself up until you can kiss the underside of the overhanging stone.

They dont know for sure where its from but the local story has always been that it was a gift from the scottish in thanks for MacCarthy/desmond support in the battle of bannuckburn (wrong spelling) against the english. The Stone is said to be part of the stone of scon on which scottish kings were traditionally inaugriated.

Supposedly, if you kiss the Blarney Stone, you will have the gift of eloquence and persuasion (the gift of gab).

Nothing happens. Actually green was not the original color for St. Patrick's day. It was blue and if you are in Ireland if you are Catholic you wear green, but if you are Protestant you wear orange ( this dates back to William of Orange).

Well, I do think he did because he made one of the most pagan countries at the time into a very christian educational center in the Medival world.

St Parick had a shamrock because he wanted to show the people that god was three people in one person

There are many different Irish family traditions that you can continue. You can say Irish blessings at family events, you can follow traditions such as dressing in traditional garb, and by celebrating St. Patrick's Day.

Actually, St. Patrick lived before the schism between Greek (Eastern) Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, so both consider him a saint.

The Shamrock does NOT have four leaves. It has three. The reason it is an Irish symbol is because St. Patrick used it in explaining to the people of Ireland about the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He used each leaf as a representation of each person in the Trinity.

The use in the USA of a four-leafed clover in representations of Ireland is due to the belief that a four-leaf clover is lucky and it fits with the expression, 'the luck of the Irish'. In Ireland a four-leaf clover has no particular cultural symbolism.

A few years ago they dyed a river green for St. Patricks day.

Irish people feel that Corned Beef and cabbage is about as Irish as Spaghetti and meatballs. That beef was a real delicacy usually served only to the kings. According to Bridgett Haggerty of the website Irish Cultres and Customs she says that their research shows that most likely a "bacon joint" or a piece of salted pork boiled with cabbage and potatoes would more likely have shown up for an Easter Sunday feast in the rural parts of Ireland. Since the advent of refrigeration, the trend in Ireland is to eat fresh meats. Today this peasant dish is more popular in the United States than in Ireland. Irish-Americans and lots of other people eat it on St. Patrick's Day, Ireland's principal feast day, as a nostalgic reminder of their Irish heritage.

I have only read a little on st.patrick and I would say he wasnt against any color or any religion he was for what he believed to be true of Gods works, and as we all should be it is in how one believes in God,not of colors or what religion one is.
