St. Patrick
Shamrock
There's a dear little plant that grows in our Isle Twas st . Patrick himself, sure, that set it;
And the sun of his labour with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the mireland,
And they call it the dear little shamrock of Ireland.

Saint Patrick Saint Patrick DayDaySt. Patrick's Day honors St. Patrick, the
patron saint of Ireland. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. Americans march in parades, dance the Irish jig and gather to
sing Irish songs. People wear green in memory of Ireland, the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks, clover with three leaves.
March 17 was not the day St. Patrick was born but the day he died. Even though we don't know the date of his birth, most scholars
believe the year was 385 AD and the year of his death was 461 AD.
St. Patrick was born in Scotland, studied religion to become a priest and then 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.

Irish FaunaIrish FaunaOnly 31 mammal species are native to
Ireland, again because it was isolated from Europe by rising sea levels after the Ice Age.
Some species, such as the Red Fox, Hedgehog, Stoat, and Badger are very
common, whereas others, like the Red Deer and Pine Marten are rare and only seen in certain national parks and nature reserves around the island. Some introduced species have become thoroughly naturalised, e.g.
rabbits and the Brown Rat. See List of Irish Mammals. About 400 bird
species have been recorded in Ireland, many of which are migratory, either arctic birds
who come in the winter, or birds such as the Swallow which come from Africa in the summer to breed. Ireland has a very rich
marine avifauna, with many large seabird colonies dotted around its coastline such as
those on the Saltee Islands and Skellig Michael.

Gaelic Gaelic footballfootball
Gaelic football (Irish: peil ghaelach) is a form of football played mainly in
Ireland where it is the most popular sport.
Teams of 15 players kick or punch a round ball
towards goals at either end of a grass pitch.
There is no offside rule.
HurlingHurlingHurling (Irish Language, Iomáint) is an outdoor team sport of Celtic origin, played with sticks and a ball. The
game, played primarily in Ireland, is arguably the world's fastest field team sport in terms of gameplay (however the ball travels faster in other field games
such as hockey). It resembles the games of shinty that is played primarily in Scotland and bandy that was
played formerly in England and Wales. Hurling played by women is also known as camogie. Hurling is one of
Ireland's native sports.
