One of my favorite things about March (besides my birthday, of course) is March 17th - St. Patrick's Day! I'm part Irish, so I especially love this holiday! And even if you're not Irish, getting all decked out in green and shamrocks and chowing down on some Irish bacon (corned beef) and cabbage is just as fun!
The Irish have celebrated St. Patrick's Day for over 1,000 years, in celebration of, you guessed it, St. Patrick on the anniversary of his death. St. Patrick was known for bringing Christianity to the Irish. The story behind the shamrock is that he was Holy Trinity using the leaves of the famous plant - and now, the four-leaf clovers are known for being lucky!
To this day, the holiday is celebrated internationally, boasting the oldest and largest parade in America - held in New York City with over 150,000 participants! Another famous tradition on this day is the dying of the river that runs through the city of Chicago - they use 40 pounds of dye that keep the river flowing green for several hours!
If you're wondering how you are going to commemorate the special holiday, you should consider a piece from the J Laur Store collection!
