patrick, the patron saint of beer.

happy saint patrick's day!   i tried to tell my students about it. and then, with rainbow going into a pot of gold, a leprechaun (that looked like an elf - oh yeah...a top hat. i forgot about that.  i actually just drew an elf now that i think of it) and a three leaf clover drawn on the board i was finished.  "and this is st. patrick's day".  they totally understood.  what's it about anyway?

  1. Four leaf clover? You failed at St. Patrick's Day other than beer drinking. xoxo

  2. hi sarah! i told my youth group it was about st. patrick converting irish people after being kidnapped, enslaved, running away and then returning years later as a bishop. they all seemed thoroughly confused by this story they had never heard before, so yeah, i guess its mostly about the beer.
