( the day St. Patrick died) is the national day of Northern Ireland and   Republic of Ireland

Saint Patrick's Day (the patron saint of Ireland) is celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by many of non-Irish descent. Celebrations are generally themed around all things green and Irish; both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green, eating Irish food, imbibing Irish drink, and attending parades.People wear green in memory of Ireland, the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks, clover with three leaves.
St. Patrick was born in Wales and  studied religion to become a priest .He was carried off by pirates and

spent six years in slavery before escaping and training as a missionary. Then he went to Ireland to teach the people about God.

There are many wonderful stories about St. Patrick, some true and some not true. The most famous legend is that he drove the snakes out of Ireland. This did not happen but the Irish will tell you that you cannot find a snake throughout the whole country of Ireland.

The national flower of Northern Ireland is the shamrock (the national emblem of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) a three-leaved plant similar to clover. An Irish tale tells of how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.

Bet You Didn't Know - St. Patrick's Day

Millions of people around the world don their best green attire every March 17th to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. But there is a lot we bet you didn’t know about Ireland’s patron saint…

To start with, St. Patrick wasn’t even Irish. He was born around the fifth century in Britain, then part of the Roman Empire. At sixteen, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and spent 6 years in captivity. He converted to Christianity and later returned to Ireland to spend the rest of his life working as a Christian missionary. After Patrick died on March 17th 461, he was largely forgotten until mythology and legend grew. And centuries later he was honoured as the patron saint of Ireland.

According to one famous myth, Patrick drove all the snakes from Ireland. The story symbolized Patrick cleansing the island of paganism. There’s just one problem: Ireland never had any snakes, to begin with. The Emerald Isle is surrounded by water too frigid for snakes to migrate there, whether from Britain or anywhere else.

According to another famous story, Patrick used the three leaves of the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. As a result, people in 18th-century Ireland started wearing shamrocks to signify their Irish pride. That tradition later grew into wearing green clothing, a popular St. Patrick’s Day custom today. Though shamrocks don’t really exist, we know them as any one of several three-leaf plants such as wood sorrel or white and yellow clover.

As important as St. Patrick is to Irish history, we bet you didn’t know the tradition of celebrating March 17th with parades actually started in America. The parade tradition really took off after the Great Potato Famine hit Ireland in the 1840s, sending hundreds of thousands of Irish immigrants pouring into New York, Boston and other American cities. The first record of a St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York dates to 1762, when a group of Irish soldiers serving with the British marched a few blocks to a tavern in Lower Manhattan. Today it’s the largest and longest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, hosting close to 200,000 participants and nearly 3,000,000 spectators each year.

So this March 17th we hope you’ll be wearing green and toasting to some St Patrick’s Day history that we bet you didn’t know.

Aims: to practice reading for gist.

Procedure: Brainstorm superstitions about bad luck and good luck. Ask the students to look at the pictures and speculate in pairs how can kissing and irish and a leprechaun bring good luck. Then students should read the text and check the guesses.

Key: 1) Kissing someone who is Irish is pretty much the next best thing to kissing the stone in Blarney Castle, which is likely where this famous saying comes from.

2) Catch a leprechaun and he’ll probably tell you where his treasure is in exchange for his freedom. If you capture one of these at the end of a rainbow. He will grant you three wishes if you will then let him go.

Ask students to match the words with the definitions. They can use the text to help them figure out the meaning of the word. Model and drill the pronunciation, check the meaning of some words.
