Celtic Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine down upon your face.
And the rain fall soft upon your fields
Until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand
The day everyone is Irish! So what is it that makes everyone want to be Irish?
SOME FACTS ABOUT ST. PATRICK DAY'S
The Legend has it that St Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Some believe it was really pagans he drove from Ireland. It is also claimed that he had a way with words, and used the three leaves of the Shamrock to explain the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. St. Patrick's Day commemorates the death of St. Patrick who died back in 461 AD. The first celebration of St. Patrick's day was in 1737—surprisingly in Boston!
Leprechauns come from Irish mythology and are thought to be a type of male fairies that inhabit Ireland. Magical creatures, lovers of mischief, who covet a pot of gold.

Personally, I love the Irish! I married one! Love Ireland. I took an Irish pen name, Colleen Connally. Just rolls off the tongue. Fun to say! My husband came up with it.
So if you are looking for a nice romantic read on this St. Patrick's Day, may I suggest my books under Colleen Connally. Seductive Secrets is a free ebook. Broken Legacy is my newest release!

Jerri/Colleen,

Luck of the Irish for your books sales! Liked learning more about St. Patrick.
Loved the poems - a nice, soothing start to my morning! Thanks for sharing about St. Patty's Day. I'd totally forgotten!
Thank you for the information on St. Patrick. We've always celebrated it in my family (came from Cork in Ireland in 1856) but I was never clear on the meaning.
