THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH ST. PATRICK'S DAY: 1. St. Patrick's day- Is celebrated every year on March 17th in commemoration to the saint Patrick. 2. Who is St. Patrick?- Originally his name was Maewyn Succat. He changed his name to Patrick to sound more christian. Patrick believe that his calling was to convert the pagans of Ireland to christianity. He traveled throughout Ireland establishing monasteries and setting up schools and churches to aid in the conversion. Legend has it, that St. Patrick crove all the snakes out of Ireland. The snake is a pagan symbol and perhaps this sis a figurative tale explaining that he drove paganism out of Ireland. Parick's mission lasted in Ireland for thirty years. He died on March 17 in 461 A.D. 3. The Shamrock- Originally used to symbolize the Trinity. It is the national emblem of Ireland. 4. The Blarney Stone- Is a stone set in the wall of the Blarney castle. Kissing the stone is supposed to bring the kisser the gift of persuasive eloquence. (Blarney)! 5. Leprechaun- The name is derived from an old Irish word luorpan which means "little body." A leprechaun is a fairy that takes the appearance of a miniature old man. Leprechauns are solitary creatures. They spend their time making shoes and broughes. Listen for the sound of his hammer, if you can find him, he may be forced to reveal the whereabouts of the treasure. Don't turn away,even for a minute,if you do, He may vanish! 6. Rainbows- That is where you find the pot o'gold. 7. Gold- The treasure in the pot at the end of the rainbow. DECORATIONS: Green is the scheme of things. I wouldn't want to see anybody getting pinched for not wearing green so remind everyone to wear it on the invitations. But just in case, green name tags shall protect. We can't presume that everybody knows everybody anyways,or, if they do you can't remember their names! Use shamrocks and rainbows, leprechauns and yellow gold for decorations. Use those black cauldrons found at Halloween time. They come in different sizes. Serve your food and beverages out of them. REFRESHMENTS: The cake- Tie-dyed Cake- Frost a double layer cake with white icing. Then drop food coloring on it. Run a toothpick through it and it will look like a tie dye cake. Try mixing different shades of green by using blue and yellow. Beverages- Fizzy Green Leprechaun Punch with Green Ice Cubes Seven-Up green food coloring lime sherbet green ice cubes Make the green ice cubes the night before you need them. Mix Seven-up with a few drops of green food coloring and float small scoops of sherbet on it. Or you could simply mix the soda and sherbet together with the mixer. Then add the green ice cubes. Green Punch- 1 pkg. lime Kool-Aid 1 qt. water 1/2 c. sugar 1 46 oz. canned pineapple juice 1 qt. gingerale Mix the first four ingredients.

Pour a small amount into several clear plastic cups. Allow to harden and then add orange. Follow this procedure with all the other choosen colors.

LEPRECLOWN I am a funny lepreclown. People watch when I come 'round. They wonder what will they see? What kinds of questions to ask me? Am I Irish? Do I swear? What's my favorite type of beer? Do I drink it in a mug? All these questions they bug and bug! "No", I say I can't drink beer. Say a bad word? "Never once my Dear." Then if you ask what do I do? I'll smile and show you a trick or two. A song I may sing or fat balloon try to blow. Dancing and skipping, as soon, it is time, I have to go. By Lynn Minix AKA Miss Priss the clown |
