Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Although it is a day of celebration, dance, and independence of the Irish and Irish descent, here are three facts about today:
-
Saint Patrick was not from Ireland but Wales, others claim he was forced into slavery at age 16.
-
Saint Patrick had actually worn blue, but green is represented as the primary color due to Ireland gaining Independence in the late 18th century.
-
Some “lucky charms” or things to do today include buying a goldfish (said to bring positivity), burn some sage (known to clear the air of the evil), and spill the wine (known to bring good vibes).
Go out and celebrate for today contains lots of luck!
