Most of Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations are fairly new to modern history. Blue used to be the traditional color of Ireland since it was under English rule. During the Irish Rebellion that began in 1798, the color of green was used to symbolize rebellion and shamrocks became a symbol of nationalism. It was not until the 1970s that Saint Patrick’s Day was celebrated the way it is today, with much partying and often green beer. Prior to 1970, St. Patrick’s Day was a national holiday in Ireland and was celebrated with the local pubs closing in observance of the day. To better market the country for tourism in the 1970s, the country decided to open the pubs for St. Patrick’s Day and to market Irish culture as a part of celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day. This is when the Leprechaun was added and the tradition of wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day, the color most associated wit the modern country of Ireland. Corned beef and hash is not even really Irish but evolved from the Irish immigrants to the US who were trying to serve pork and potatoes. The poor immigrants substituted corned beef and cabbage, which were less expensive, as immigrants choice of food. The shamrock is a myth that St Patrick used to explain the concept of the trinity to the Irish citizen – this is not founded in truth. At best, it is a weak analogy. Leprechauns are just fairy type mythical creatures from Ireland but have no basis in fact or anything to do with Saint Patrick.

Here are some books I recommend you read with or aloud to your children:

Patrick Patron Saint of Ireland by Tomie dePaola
The Story of St. Patrick: More than Shamrocks and Leprechauns by Voice of the Marytrs
Saint Patrick: Pioneer Missionary to Ireland by Michael McHugh (this is my favorite)
St. Patrick: The First Missionary by Thomas Cahill
The Story of Saint Patrick’s Day by Patricia Pingry
