Rainbows are fun and so is St. Patrick's Day! My brothers name was Patrick and my Daughter's middle name IS Patrick! St. Patrick's Day has always been a special holiday to me and my family, and I thought it would be SO fun to do a party with a festive rainbow theme this year to celebrate this amazing man! The following is a little information about the Irish Holiday and who St. Patrick was.
What is Saint Patrick's Day really about?
St Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland, was known for bringing Christianity to Ireland. He was a Brittish boy, raised by a Deacon and kidnapped at the age of 16 to be a slave in Ireland. During his enslavement, he turned to prayer and his faith grew in strength. One day he had a dream and in it, God told him to escape to the coast. He then, boarded a boat in which he fled back to England. While in England, he studied to be a priest. Several years later God called him to return to Ireland, the land of his enslavement and share the Good News of Christ. He traveled all over Ireland for the rest of his life, teaching others about his faith. The shamrock was a tool he used to explain the trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Patricks Day is a holy day that celebrates an amazing young man who overcame his own slavery and used it to share God's love!

I always like having something at the entrance that reflects the theme of the party helps to
set the stage for guests.
