For all of you with Irish roots this is your day! Have a happy one! St. Patrick was aware after he escaped slavery, that his calling was to convert non-believers to Christianity. St. Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity to his followers.
In 1737, Boston was the first city to celebrate St. Paticks Day. At present, people celebrate by wearing green, drinking green beer, cooking corned beef and cabbage and going to their favorite parades. I understand Chicago turns their river green. I imagine that is quiet a site to behold.
Wonder how much food coloring that takes?
I will leave with this thought--As you slide down the bannister of life may the splinters never point in the wrong direction!!!!
