Each year, all across the world St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by those that are Irish and those that want to express the love the the Irish.
Who was St. Patrick?
St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. He is known as the person that banished snakes from Ireland. He is synonymous with Ireland and being Irish.
St. Patrick’s Day is a celebration of Ireland and what it means to be Irish. People march in brightly coloured parades and Irish music and dancing are enjoyed by all.
The Irish language
Do you know that there is an Irish language, called Gaeilge? Irish is spoken in many parts of the country and is taught in the majority of schools. Irish people are proud of their language and you will notice signs around the country that show the way in both Irish and English.
Gra means love in Irish, or as we say ‘as gaeilge’.
Love of the Irish…
The Irish are known as a friendly bunch of people, that love to have the craic (fun) and spread gra (love) wherever they go.
