Happy St. Patrick's Day

Our little girl is 1/4 Irish and is all dressed up in green. I wanted to get a picture of her sitting in the green chair, but she just doesn't stay put like she used to.

I celebrate St. Patrick's Day by dressing in green and eating corned beef and cabbage, but I didn't really know who St. Patrick was. So, I decided to look up him up and figure out why there is a day set apart for him. Among other things, I learned he was brought to Ireland as a slave and after he escaped back to his family he entered the church. Later St. Patrick decided to return to Ireland as a missionary. The shamrock is associated with him because he used it to explain the Holy Trinity. A shamrock will have new meaning to me now.
