St. Patrick's Day


Is THIS enough green? Adam really gets excited about celebrating St. Patrick's Day and he wears his green very well. Most of us don't really know exactly what this holiday is really about. I heard yesterday that most people in the U.S. "celebrate" St. Patty's Day far more than the people of Ireland. If you're interested, you can find a summary of the real St. Patrick's life here. I actually first learned about it from a Veggie Tales DVD. St. Patrick used the shamrock or clover leaf to teach about the Trinity. Here's my daughter's craft from school yesterday.

Hey Carolyn, the shamrock is beautiful!Great job, I'd love to have the teaching that your teacher used when you learned about the Trinity. Thanks, Aunt Jen
