Top of the morning to yah !
St Patricks's Day falls on a Sunday 17th March for 2019 so there will be lots of Green cheer this year ! St Patrick's Day (also known as St Paddy's Day) parties and celebrations are a great way to keep fun Irish traditions alive here in Australia.
It was believed that there was wee Fairy Folk living in the forests of Ireland and they wore green so as not to be seen ! The Story has it that a Leprachaun (a wee fairy folk) was said to be hiding a pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow.
Traditionally on St Patrick's Day the Irish still believe a 4 leaf clover
to be a lucky charm as well as a horse shoe - remember to hold your horseshoe upside down (opening upwards) so your luck doesn't run
