Презентация, доклад ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Traditions, poems and songs

But many people who immigrated to the United States have come from Ireland. Today, Irish descendants in the United States put on a noisier and bigger St. Patrick’s Day celebration than the people in Ireland. Every year on March 17 or the preceding Saturday, cities with large population of Irish Americans have parades. Green is one of the national colours of Ireland and also one of the signs of spring. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons and hats. Many American bars ever serve green beer on that day!

of Ireland, was born in Wales about AD 385. When he was 16, he was sold into slavery to Ireland where he was a shepherd for 6 years. While in captivity he studied and turned to religion. He escaped slavery and later returned to Ireland as a missionary, determined to convert Ireland to Christianity. He used the shamrock to explain the Hole Trinity.

the Celtic Druids. Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. He travelled throughout Ireland, establishing monasteries across the country. He also set up schools and churches which would aid him in his conversation of the Irish country to Christianity.
His mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years. After that time, Patrick retired to Country Down. He died on March 17 in AD 461. This day has been commemorated as St. Patrick’s Day ever since.

Why were the Celtic Druids upset?
What did the do in Ireland?
Why is St. Patrick’s Day celebrated on March 17?

decorating shamrock cookies or making shamrock necklaces or pins. If you’re planning a St. Patrick’s Day party you can use your homemade shamrock jewelry for playing a party game. Have each person wear their shamrock necklace or pin ad tell them that they may not cross any part of their bodies, example hands, legs or feet. Then they must keep an eye on all the other party guests and if they catch anyone crossing anything, they may go to that person and catch anyone crossing anything, they may go to the person and request their shamrock jewelry and wear it in addition to their own.

the party is the winner of the game. Another a fun game is to hide a small pot of the gold chocolate coins and let your guests to search for it. If you’re planning to serve food at your party, you could draw 1 four-leaved clover on the bottom of one of your plates and have a door prize for the guest who selects that plate.

cut from a green construction paper, or you could use the one-serving size boxes of cereal and place your invitation message on the back with a large mailing label; then just wrap the boxes and mail them to your guests.

just about any kind of food can be tinted green. A more traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage is another option and you can add lots of green side dishes to go along with it. A Blarney Stone surrounded by shamrocks, a Leprechauns sitting next to a pot of gold chocolate coins, or even an Irish Derby make great centerpieces for a St. Patrick’s Day Buffet table. Clear carbonated beverages can be tinted green to fill a punch bowl, and mint chocolate chip ice cream makes a great St. Patrick’s Day dessert.

us the poor children
Bestow a sweet smile.
And now thou art high
In the mansion above,
On Erin’s green valleys
Look down with thy Love.
On Erin’s green valleys,
On Erin’s green valleys,
On Erin’s green valleys
Look down with thy Love

wind be always at your back;
May the rains fall soft upon your fields;
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

shamrocks, one, two and three.
We’ll count the leaves and look them over,
And maybe find a four-leafed clover.
I’ll sew green buttons on my vest;
Green for St. Patrick is the best.
I’ll wear a green hat, very high,
And dance a jig-- at least I’ll try!

And then there were two. Two green shamrocks, growing beneath a tree;  Another one sprouted;
And then there were three. Three green shamrocks, by the cottage door;  Another one sprouted;  And then there were four. Four green shamrocks, near a beehive; Another one sprouted;  And then there were five. Five little shamrocks, bright and emerald green,  Think of all the luck these shamrocks will bring.

four-leaf clover That I overlooked before. One leaf is sunshine,
The second is rain, Third is the rose
That grows in the lane. No need explaining
The one remaining Is somebody I adore. I'm looking over a four-leaf clover That I overlooked before!
