To celebrate St Patrick’s day on the 17th of March, here is a great collection of Irish blessings for you to enjoy. St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival on the 17th of March each year. It is a wonderful day […]
Ah sure, who doesn't enjoy St Patrick's day memes? I know I certainly get a good chuckle from them. I have browsed many years of Reddit posts, blog posts and put this list of the
Welcome to the 3rd Annual St. Patrick's Day Blog Parade (otherwise known as the 18th edition of the Carnival of Irish Heritage and Culture) If you love the history and culture of Ireland, have Irish ancestry, are an Irish citizen - or just love a parade - you've come to the right place this St. Patrick's Day! We'll talk Irish genealogy with some articles from those that are seeking their personal roots in Ireland (or helping others trace theirs). We'll ponder the faith of the Irish people, discuss Irish travel and music, and - last, but not least - take a look at the beloved St. Patrick and his big day: March 17. It's great to have you with us for the parade! Find yourself a spot with a good view and get ready to watch the entries parade by on this, the day of worldwide celebration of the feast of St. Patrick of Ireland! On Irish roots “I showed my appreciation of my native land in the usual Irish way: by getting out of it as soon as I possibly could.” - George Bernard Shaw We'll start our parade off with a look at Irish Genealogy. Donna Moughty warns against believing the fairy tale that "you can't research in Ireland because of the fire". As a professional genealogist in Florida with a specialty is 19th-century Irish research, Donna presents some very good online resources for Irish genealogy. Just getting into genealogy or need some fresh how-to reminders? Take some time to visit the Strategies for Starting Your Family History series on Donna's Genealogy Blog. Is there anyone among us with Irish heritage who doesn't dream of uncovering a handwritten letter from one of their Irish forebears? Shauna Hicks of Victoria, Australia has done so (more than once). She shares a few of these family treasures with us in her article Letters Home – My Irish Families on her blog Shauna Hicks History Enterprises. Visit her blog to read transcripions of her great-great-grandmother's correspondence to and from her home in Brisbane with family back in County Armagh, Ireland in the early 20th-century. Another Australian contributor to our carnival is working on tracing her roots in Ireland, this time in County Tipperary. In her article Tierneys on Parade - My Irish Heritage, Geniaus shares what she has learned about her ancestors who settled in Dungog, New South Wales, Australia in the early 19th-century, showing a vintage photograph of their family home. Visit the Geniaus blog for more on her Tierney ancestors and her search for cousins. (Here's hoping that she and I will discover a connection someday between our Tierneys from Tipperary!) The lack of personal Irish ancestry didn't stop Donna Pointkouski from joining us in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Within her Surname Saturday series she has included an article on the Irish ancestry of her niece who hails from the McGeehan clan. Visit Donna's Surname Saturday: McGeehan at What's Past is Prologue for an indepth overview of the surname including its history, variations and name distribution, along with some thoughts on her own challenges as she researches her niece's family tree. A hitching post brought all the way from Ireland and used for a tombstone? That's one family legend from the Conlin and McGowan families of Roscommon, Ireland that Jenna shares about on her blog Desperately Seeking Surnames. Visit the short narrative about these families and learn about their roots in Roscommon, their settlement in Missouri, and one family member who found work on the Panama Canal. T. Casteel joins our parade Doin' the Happy Jig at the discovery of her first real proof of an ancestor hailing from Ireland. Visit her blog Tangled Trees to learn what she found while researching her French-Canadian ancestry. On the faith of the Irish people “If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on me.” - St. Patrick The celebration of St. Patrick’s Day in Londonderry, New Hampshire calls to mind the many connections that the area has to its sister town in Ireland and its own Irish past. Within her blog Nutfield Genealogy, Heather Wilkinson Rojo writes about this town in New Hamphire settled by Irish immigrants in 1715 and its modern day connections to Ireland. She includes a photo of a statue of St. Bridget given to the local St. Mark's Catholic Church from their neighbor, the Londonderry Presbyterian Church, in solidarity for their shared Christian faith. Knowing the faith of our ancestors often provides the key to understanding more about their lives. In Joan Miller's case, the search for her Kerr ancestors who immigrated to Canada in the mid-19th-century led her to research the Early Irish Methodists during the time of the Great Famine. Visit Joan's blog Luxegen Genealogy and Family History for an introduction to the history of Methodism in Ireland within the context of the potato famine. I found Joan's excerpts from Irish Methodist Reminiscences particularly compelling, especially the comments of the wife of a minister who began: "Oh! the scenes of filth and wretchedness, hunger, nakedness and disease which my dear husband witnessed and tried to relieve..." Going back even farther into Ireland's history, Katie O. of You Are Where You Came From reminds us that St. Patrick is not the only saintly figure held in great esteem by the Irish people. She shares a paper she wrote examining the native and Christian motifs in Medieval Irish Hagiography (that's a fancy word for the biographies of saints or venerated persons). Based on readings of The Life of Senan, Son of Gerrgenn and The Life of Ciaran of Clonmacnois (taken from a 15th-century manuscript), Katie offers a scholarly look at the legendary genealogies, lives and influences of these heroes of Ireland. On St. Patrick, the Irish and Ireland “I've always liked it here. Part of me is Irish. . . . My family comes from the west coast, so whenever I come to Ireland I get a wee tingling in my heart that I'm where I belong.” - Billy Connolly (Scottish Actor) It's funny how Irish Pride sometimes wells up in us for surprising reasons. In Terri O'Connell's case, it was her German grandmother that encouraged her love of her own Irish heritage each St. Patrick's Day when she was young. Stop by Finding Our Ancestors for Terri's childhood March 17 memories in Chicago including a "cute little green polyester pant suit". Wearin' O' The Green and St Patrick's Day Tradition is alive within the family of Frances Ellsworth (a.k.a. Hummer) as she shares on her blog Branching Out Through the Years. Stop by to view a collage of her favorite St. Patty's Day family photos and read about her fondness for St. Patrick because of the legendary way he ran the snakes out of Ireland. The shamrock has long been a beloved symbol of Ireland and St. Patrick. On her blog Celtic Voices Cindy Thomson muses about its probable use by St. Patrick as a tool to explain the Trinity to the Irish people. Visit Cindy's Did St. Patrick Really Use the Shamrock to Prove a Point? and also her article The Shamrock for more on this well-known native Irish greenery. What would a St. Patrick's Day party be without Irish music? Kerry Dexter of Music Road has some recommendations for us. As Kerry wrote in a previous article, the music of Ireland "goes back centuries, and is still sung, and is still vital. Music about the substance of life is a tradition which continues with today’s musicians as well..." Visit her blog for the scoop on some of the modern Irish musicians that she enjoys most. How could we celebrate this very Irish holiday without our thoughts turning back to Ireland itself? We all have images of Ireland that stir our imaginations, whether we have visited the island or not. If you do have a trip in your future, you may do well to take some advice from Corey of the Wandering Educators blog. His article Spots the Tourists Miss in Ireland highlights not-so-well-known destinations in Ireland that are worth working into the itinerary. If you can't make it to the Emerald Isle, why not plan a visit to a place outside of Ireland with a little bit of Irish history? One such place is located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as Eyelyn Yvonne Theriault explains on her blog A Canadian Family. Visit The Irish And The Queen Victoria Bridge to see a vintage postcard of the Victoria bridge and read about its tie to a special memorial designed by Irish Quebeckers to commemorate their own. I hope you've enjoyed this 3rd annual edition of the Small-leaved Shamrock St. Patrick's Day Blog Parade! Many thanks to all of our contributors. If you just can't get enough St. Patrick's Day reading, make a visit over to the 2008 and 2009 editions of the parade. This year's edition was particularly challenging for me to complete thanks to the wee one in my care and the other activities of my family (including this week's Irish dance performances). If you enjoyed reading, please take the time to leave a comment or send an email. I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. The topic for the upcoming 19th edition of the Carnival of Irish Heritage and Culture (in honor of U.S. National Poetry Month 2010) is Poetry! Read details about the Small-leaved Shamrock Poetry Party on the Carnival of Irish Heritage and Culture blog. Deadline for this upcoming edition is Monday, April 26, 2010. In the spirit of Irish poetry (which spans from the serious ballad to the silly limerick), here's a traditional Irish "blessing" (if you can call it that!) to take with you on your way: May those who love us love us, and those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts, and if He cannot turn their hearts may He turn their ankles that we may know them by their limping. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh! (Ban-ock-tee na fay-lah paw-rig ur-iv) Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Children love a lively leprechaun story in spring, especially St. Patrick’s Day! Here’s one that weaves through with a greatly adapted spark of ‘Hans in Luck’ (Grimms). It is a humorous tale and lots of fun as a circle puppet story, where the children take part as characters of the story with simple table puppets. This inspires all kinds of leprechaun play and lovely tricks. We build leprechaun traps in the sandbox each year with a deep hole covered with sticks. We put honey in a shell and put it on the bottom of the hole. Everyone knows how much leprechauns love honey. We still haven’t caught one, but they have left us treasures as a thank you for the honey! Lucky Patrick There was once a very simple farmer named Patrick O’Leary. He was good and kind, and lived in a little cottage in the green hills of Ireland. One spring morning, he was walking out across his land when he saw a flash of light out of the corner of his eye. At once he knew it was a leprechaun, and in an instant, he threw his hat off his head across the grass and it landed right over the little fellow! Everyone in Ireland knew if you could catch a leprechaun he’d have to give you his pot of gold. Everyone in Ireland also knew that they liked to pull tricks on anyone who tried. You had to be careful with a leprechaun! Well, that morning, Patrick was very excited that he had trapped the leprechaun! He picked up the leprechaun in his hat, and held on to him tight! He lifted the hat and had a peek. What he saw was the tiniest wee man he’d ever seen, all dressed in green with a long beard on his wee chin. The leprechaun was twisting and turning, kicking his legs, and waving his arms! “Let me go!! Let me go!!” he cried out. “Ah,” said Patrick, “not ‘til I get the pot of gold!” Try as the leprechaun did, he couldn’t get away from Patrick, and soon knew he had lost his pot of gold. So he told Patrick he would lead him to his gold, but he had to promise to let him then go free. Off they went across the hills of Ireland. It was a long, long journey and they came to a part of Ireland Patrick had never seen before. The leprechaun led him down a path into a deep woodland. It was so beautiful, Patrick had to stop and rub his eyes to believe it was so lovely. The woodland was full of bluebells, as far as the eye could see, and he was sure he heard their bells ringing! The leprechaun told him to follow the path till they came to a huge beech tree with great gnarled roots. There, hidden amongst the roots and the bluebells was the pot of gold! “Aha,” said Patrick. And sure enough it gleamed brightly, and was filled to the top of the pot with gold! “Now keep your promise and let me go”, said the leprechaun. Patrick was so busy with the gold he said, “ of course, little leprechaun, thank you, and be off with you!” Patrick put the leprechaun down on the ground without really looking at the wee fellow. The leprechaun put his finger to his nose, gave a wink, and nodded his head three times! Oh my, he had put a trickster spell on Patrick, and Patrick did not know it! Then the leprechaun disappeared into the bluebells never to be seen again by Patrick. Patrick was delighted with his good fortune, and picked up the pot to carry it home. “Argh now, this is heavy,” groaned Patrick as he picked it up. He carried it slowly along the path, beginning the long journey home. About a mile down the way, Patrick thought his arms would break. “This is too heavy for man or beast! What I’d give to be able to be home in my cozy cottage with a cup of tea,” wished a very tired Patrick. Just then, along came a rider on a fine galloping horse. He stopped to bid good day to Patrick when he saw the pot of gold! “What’s this,” he asked? Patrick told him all about it, and then said, “argh, what I’d give to be home in my own cozy cottage with a cup of tea!” “Hmmm,” replied the rider, I’d gladly relieve you of your burden, and you can take my fine horse to get you home all the sooner!” “Oh thank you,” said Patrick, “thinking he had the better end of the deal.” And they each went their merry way. Patrick rode the horse over the hills, gallopity, gallopity. It was indeed a fine horse, so Patrick kicked him to go faster. Wheeeee! They went like the wind. But before he knew it, Patrick flew over the horse’s head and landed hard on the ground. “Argh, that hurt,” said a very sore Patrick! The horse, meanwhile, was running away! “What I’d give to be back home in my cozy little cottage with a cup of tea,” moaned Patrick getting up from the ground. Just then, a man with a cow came walking along. He had caught the fine horse and brought him to Patrick. Patrick told him the whole story, and by now Patrick was very, very sore. “Yes, I almost broke my neck,” he said. “What I’d give to be back home in my cozy cottage with a cup of tea.” “Hmm, hmm”, replied the man. “I’d gladly relieve you of your burden. You can take my cow who give’s rich milk every day.” Patrick agreed, thinking he had the better end of the deal. He would always have fresh milk, cheese, and butter. What good luck! So off they both went each on their merry way. After a while, the hot sun and the walk made Patrick thirsty. “Why, I’ll have a drink of milk,” said Patrick. And Patrick sat down to milk the cow. Instead of a drop of milk, Patrick got a big kick and fell to the ground! “Argh, not again! What I’d give to be back home in my cozy cottage having a cup of tea,” moaned Patrick. Just then a man was coming along the path holding a big goose. He helped Patrick up and heard the whole story. “Yes,” said Patrick to the man, “what I’d give to be home in my cozy cottage with a cup of tea!” “Hmmm, hmm,” said the man, “I’ll gladly relieve you of your burden. You may take my goose home in exchange. He’s no problem at all. You’ll have eggs to eat every day!” Patrick looked at the goose easily tucked under the man’s arm. “No problem at all”, he thought to himself, “I’m in luck”. So off the two men went each on their merry way, Patrick holding the goose under his arm. All went well until the goose honked, “I’m hungry, put me down! I’m hungry, put me down!” When Patrick put him down, instead of pecking at the grass, he pecked Patrick’s feet! He pecked, and pecked, and pecked, and pecked! Patrick called out, “HELP!! HELP!! Someone HELP!!” All the while, wishing he was at home in his cozy cottage drinking a cup of tea! Just then an old woman with a basket was walking along. She grabbed the goose by the neck and stuffed it in her basket, and closed the lid! “Oh thank you, thank you,” said Patrick gratefully. Then he told her the whole story…”and all I want is to be home in my cozy cottage with a cup of tea!” “Hmmm,” said the old woman, “I’ll gladly relieve you of this burden, then you are free to go home.” “Free,” said Patrick, “oh how good that would feel!” So they both went on their merry way and Patrick nearly danced all the way home… back to his cozy house and a cup of tea. He got there just as the sun was setting, happier than he had ever been! Nearby, hiding behind the cherry tree was a little wee leprechaun, laughing. He put his finger on his nose, gave a wink, and three nods, then disappeared. But you could still hear him laughing for a long, long time. ************************************** If you enjoyed this story you will LOVE our Free email Early Childhood Puppetry Newsletter! filled with articles, upcoming courses, free tutorials, original seasonal stories and poem stories, super resources for early childhood teachers and parents!
