Saint Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious celebration that happens annually on 17 March to mark the death date of the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. It is also a public holiday in Ireland. The colour green, pots of gold, shamrock, and leprechaun are often associated with the celebration.

Most people, whether they are Irish or not, wear green on this day. One of the Irish traditions is to pinch anyone who is not wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day.

The shamrock is worn as a badge. Three is Ireland’s magic number and the three leaves that make up the shamrock are supposed to bring good luck. They also represent the Holy Trinity in the Christian religion.

The leprechaun is a small Irish fairy who dresses like a shoemaker. Leprechaun is an unfriendly little man who lives alone in the forest, spending time making shoes and guarding their gold treasures. If you catch a leprechaun, he’ll be forced to tell you where he hides his pots of gold.

The Rio de Janeiro or the Venice Carnival celebrations are well known around the world. What about Polish Carnival?

Carnival, known as old Polish ‘zapusty’, in Poland is a time from New Year to Ash Wednesday.

During this time are held very fashionable carnival parties. Schools in Poland usually organise special dress-up parties for their students. Children dress up as their favourite characters from fairy tales or favourite heroes.

In the last week of the carnival – known as ‘ostatki’ – we eat delicious ‘faworki’ and ‘pączki’.At the Fat Thursday on the Polish tables cannot miss the delicious doughnuts.

In our school also took place carnival fun. Children played in the rhythm of disco music. They dressed up as favourite characters and had great fun.
