The history of St. Patrick

St. Patrick’s Day marks the feast day of the Irish national patron saint. St. Patrick was a 5th-century missionary, who is credited with bringing Christianity into Ireland. He became a legendary figure by the end of the 7th century and is considered a patron saint of Ireland.

St. Patrick was born in Britain in the 4th century. He was taken as a slave to Ireland. He eventually escaped only to return later to convert Ireland to Christianity. Saint Patrick’s Day, the 17th of March, is the day that he passed away. Wearing green on that day means you celebrate all things Irish.

How to make a leprechaun trap

Cut all the coloured paper into equal strips to paste onto another sheet.

Paste the colours in the order of a rainbow.

Cut a sheet of paper to fit over a quarter of the rainbow.

Spread wood glue on your sheet, placed on top of the rainbow colours.

Paste the cotton on top of the glue to make some clouds.

Measure your stick by placing it under the lid of the box and cut it off at the length you like the best.

Tie the ribbon to the end of the stick.

Decorate your leprechaun box to make it look irresistible to the leprechaun. You can even use gold paper and glitter to make a pot of gold for the leprechaun.

Set your trap in a quiet place and, who knows, maybe you’ll catch yourself a slippery leprechaun!
