Hello to you all, my name is Maura, and I’m Irish, from Dublin, so the Republic of Ireland or Eire. And today is
one of my favourite days because it is 17th March and it is ………Saint Patrick’s Day, of course. It is our national
day when we celebrate Saint Patrick our Patron Saint who brought Christianity to Ireland So we are going to
celebrate! Can you imagine? I’m going to go to the big parade in the streets of Dublin, where I live ,with all my
family wearing green costumes, green hats, shamrocks in our buttonholes, Mum has even dyed her hair green!
Then, we will all have a big party at home, we have prepared bunches of shamrocks from our garden (remember,
the national emblem of Ireland). We have decorated our house green, a must on an island which is called the
Emerald Island. And of course, we’re eating green food! All the food for the party is green, apples, lettuce,
cucumber, olives, spinach, pistachio cake, the bread for the sandwiches is green too! And to drink: green mint
with lemonade. Dad prefers green beer, poor Dad! Tomorrow is going to be a difficult day!
My cousins in New York and Chicago in the USA are celebrating it too. Guess what! In Chicago they even colour
the river green. So yes, it is going to be a great day for us all.
Love XoXo Maura!
