Shown is O’Leary’s Ale House’s Corned Beef Meal! YUM!
☘ Today is St. Patrick’s Day 2017 and the Pope says you can have Corned Beef and Cabbage even though it’s a Friday! A few fun facts about St. Patrick’s Day:
- St Patrick’s Day is a global celebration of Irish culture on or around March 17. It particularly remembers St Patrick, one of Ireland’s patron saints, who ministered Christianity in Ireland during the fifth century.
- Why do you pinch someone on St Patrick’s Day? St. Patrick’s revelers thought wearing green made one invisible to leprechauns, fairy creatures who would pinch anyone they could see (anyone not wearing green). People began pinching those who didn’t wear green as a reminder that leprechauns would sneak up and pinch green-abstainers.
- Leprechauns may wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, but there’s good reason for them to be blue: Irish folklore suggests there aren’t any females. An ancient book called “A History Of Irish Fairies” reveals that there are no evidence of there being a female leprechaun — ever.
- March 17 has become a major day to toast the Irish in the U.S., but it isn’t actually a bank holiday; so banks, federal offices, schools and other such places typically closed on federal holidays should be open.Here are a few suggestions on where you can find a great St. Patrick’s day corned beef meal in DeKalb County:Sycamore Vets Club
