St. Patrick's Day worksheets

St. Patrick’s Day worksheets is widely celebrated, especially in the United States, and through the years, numerous films have been made about Irish Americans, including Little Nellie Kelly (1940), Finian’s Rainbow (1968), and Rudy (1993). Perhaps, fewer movies are made on location in Ireland. Several films made about the Irish Troubles are filmed on location, but as St. Patrick’s Day is generally regarded as a time of celebration, on the 17th of March, you may enjoy watching some comedies which show some of the beautiful scenery of Ireland.

Top of the morning to you! A truly Irish-American holiday, St. Paddy's Day was celebrated in Ireland with little more than a normal Catholic mass, until the Irish-American tourists started flocking to their ancestral home in the 1990's. Finding no corned beef and cabbage, no green beer, and no "Kiss Me, I'm Irish buttons", trips provided cultural disappointment. Until the Irish understood how to make money with the Celtic Tiger. Then Eire's economy exploded.
Now Ireland, with its ancient castles, sacred churches,rolling emerald hills and beautiful scenery is one of the most successful countries in the world. St. Patrick would be proud. Want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with your family? Here's some idea The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Sullivan shows the stubborness of the Irish people and the love that is deep in their soul for Irish traditions.
