As many of you may already know St Patrick's day is Sunday! I have never really been a big fan of the holiday but this year I have some fun little DIYs and Recipes coming up that I am super excited about!! so to kick off the week I am going to share with you some fun and surprising facts about St Patrick's Day!!

+St. Patrick isn't Irish. He was born in Roman Britain
at 16 he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave
 
+The actual color of St. Patrick is blue. Green became associated with St. Patrick's Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by fairies and immortals, and also by people to encourage their crops to grow.
 
+In Chicago, on St. Patrick's Day, the rivers are dyed green. 
 
+In Seattle, there is a ceremony where a green stripe is painted down the roads
 
+ Each leaf on the clover mean something,
1. Hope 2. Faith 3. Love & 4. Luck
hence, why 4 leaf clovers are considered lucky!
(my personal fav!)
 
-Stay tuned for more St Patrick's Day fun!-
