Tee, Pat and Laurie are our resident Irish lasses! Tee and Laurie are both in Belize now but we're sure they will be enjoying the day and, certainly, Tee will be telling stories. Pat will have to do her part here locally!
St. Patrick is most known for driving the snakes from Ireland. It is true--there are no snakes in Ireland, but there probably never have been since the island was separated from the rest of the continent at the end of the Ice Age.
St. Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. It is also a day of spiritual renewal. So--why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that is the day that St. Patrick died.
Happy St. Patrick's Day from all of us who are Irish and those who will be Irish for the day!
