Hello my friends of the Omschool! Today we're exploring things Irish. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on
on March 17. Many people think the holiday is about green beer,
shamrocks and leprechauns. But that 's just commercial hype. The real Saint Patrick was a Catholic
Roman Britain taken as a slave by Irish raiders. Patrick later returned as a missionary to convert
Druidic Ireland. Here are St. Patrick's Day lesson plans, crafts and activities to explore the saint behind
the legend and the religious beyond the secular. Read the story of Saint Patrick on Britannica. And
here's more information I just learned today on the history of St. Patrick. Then
scroll down for free printable St. Patrick's Day activities.
