In one week we will be celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day. It will be bringing out the green — clothes, ribbons and beer. For the Irish, it’s a cultural and religious holiday. For the rest of us, it’s an excuse to shed our winter doldrums, dance a jig and think about Spring.
Saint Patrick’s Day, to my point of view, just might be the happiest of holidays. Though its origins commemorate Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, though its symbol— the shamrock — is believed to have been used to explain the Holy Trinity to pagans, March 17 in cities world wide today is an occasion for festivals and parades. With the Lenten restrictions on food and drink lifted for the day, Saint Patrick’s celebrations are always a party.
The mystical magic of Ireland factors in as well with images of leprechauns, rainbows and pots of gold. These delightful animations then are perfect for your Saint Patrick’s Day needs bringing all the fun and life to this cultural celebration:
