AN IRISH BLESSING
May the Road Rise to Meet You,
May the Wind be Always at Your Back,
May the Sun Shine Warm upon Your Face,
The Rains Fall Soft Upon Your Fields, and
Until we Meet Again,
May God Hold you in the Palm of his Hand

LEPRECHAUNS
The Leprechaun is a Irish Fairy. He looks like a small old man and often dresses like a "Shoemaker" with a cocked hat and an apron. According to legends they posess a hidden    "pot of gold". If you catch one, you can force him to reveal where it is but, keep your eye on him every secord, or he will vanish, and all hopes for the treasure are gone!
THE MAGIC SHAMROCK
There are many Legends regarding the Shamrock's origin. Three  is Ireland's magic number. Crone, Mother and Virgin. Love, Valor, and wit. Faith, Hope and Charity. The one I like the best is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, used By St. Patrick to teach Christianity.
