This Monday 17th we will be celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day.
At first, I didn’t know how to explain this holiday to my kids because I didn’t know how to relate Saint Patrick to leprechauns and pots of gold.
Reading a little bit about the story of Saint Patrick, I realize I’m not the only one wondering what was the relation among all these elements.
Here I give you the website that cleared things out for me: The History Channel explains it all!
