St Patrick's Day 17 March

Shamrock - typical Irish clover
Everyone wanna be IRISH today!


Green


So why do we all wear green on St Patrick's Day? (*so conincident today I wear my green Giordano shirt) :P


Probably because you'll be pinched if you don't! School children started this tradition. Green is also the color of spring, the shamrock and is connected with hope and nature.


The luck of the Irish
Want to be lucky this St. Patrick's Day? Follow this advice:
1. Find a four-leaf clover. 2. Wear green (so you don't get pinched). 3. Kiss the blarney stone. 4. Catch a Leprechaun if you can.
In honor of the festivities we leave you with this Irish blessing: May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow and may trouble avoid you wherever you go!

Question: Why everyone wants to be Irish today?

Yesterday my friend parked her car inside the prohibited zone in the university because she was late to our bookclub meeting. When enter the meeting room, she said," I wear green today, with the luck of Irish, I hope policemen will be mercy today." -- I pray for her :P
