You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this day. Wear the Green and eat lean!

Here is my favorite Irish Blessing. I once embroidered this saying and framed it. My son and daughter-in-law now have in their home. I don’t have a photo of it to share but I did add this copy of the blessing from online free photos.

I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day!

Here is an adorable photo of a leprechaun from Secret Ireland online.

Ah, the leprechaun. That elusive, cackling keeper of gold and trickery. A creature cloaked in green and legend, dancing on the edges of Irish folklore like a whisper between worlds. But every March, as the world bathes itself in shamrocks and Guinness foam, one question inevitably floats through the festive fog:

And the answer? As layered and strange as Ireland herself.

How Big Are Real Leprechauns?

If you’re talking mythological size, they’re small enough to vanish behind a buttercup, but large enough to alter your destiny with a single wink.

If you’re talking symbolic size, they’re giants. Giants in folklore, giants in cultural memory. Leprechaun height and weight mean little when they carry the soul of a nation’s mischief on their tiny shoulders.

It’s a fascinating site all about anything that is Irish. Thank you to this lovely site for all the info and photos.

Here’s a little more about the shamrock.

There’s a curious thing that happens every March—when the winds of winter still claw at the doors, but a flicker of spring begins to whisper beneath the frost. It is in that in-between moment, in the ceremonial chambers of power and pretense, that a fragile sprig of shamrock crosses the Atlantic Ocean—not merely a leaf, but a living talisman, handed from one nation to another. And in that gesture—fragile, symbolic, theatrical, yet oddly potent—lies the beating heart of a strange tradition known as the White House shamrock ceremony.

This is not just pomp and pageantry. This is myth meeting statecraft. This is history dressed in green.

Why Is a Shamrock Called a Shamrock?

Etymologically, the word comes from the Irish “seamróg,” meaning young clover. But etymology never tells the whole story. The name itself carries softness, youth, rebirth—spring’s whisper in a frost-hardened field.

I hope you have a wonderful day full of GREEN and all things blessed.
