Happy St. Patrick's day everybody !

Just so that everyone knows, St. Patrick was NOT really Irish. He was from SCOTLAND, and a bunch of pirates kidnapped him and sold him to a church in Ireland. Film at 11:.00.

Now go and enjoy some green mashed potatoes

Hi Swish. I am from Japan and I don't know well
about St.Patrick's Day.
What else do you do?

And you have St.Patrick's Day Holiday,too,right?
Is "St.Patrick's Day" not a holiday?
Why green mash potatoes?

Tell me please.

Thank you

Aya

Hi Aya ! Nice to meet you

St. Patrick's day is when people dye everything green (including food) and say they have an excuse for getting drunk. Basically that's all it is. I guess green is an irish color, but as noted above he wasn't really irish so go figure To bad they messed up the holiday because the man was a great man. He helped lots of people in his day.
