Correction

Okay, so I must make a statement about my last post.
Thanks Rebecca for helping me understand St. Patrick's Day a little better. I had to enter this new post to make up for my embarrasing lack of knowledge and make sure that no one else read the post wondering how I could be so dumb! If it isn't obvious from the title of the holiday (and for some reason it got past me!), it actually has a lot to do with Jesus and religion.
As Rebecca said: "Actually, St. Patrick's Day has a lot to do with Jesus! It celebrates St. Patrick, who brought Christianity into parts of Ireland. He used the shamrock to explain to people about the Holy Trinity. Anyway, here's a website in case you are interested in more info...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Day#Celebration_overview"
For those of you, like me, who have celebrated this holiday without really knowing why (and I am Irish and had a sister serve an LDS mission in Ireland), this has been very helpful. I know that it will be a little easier to celebrate this holiday next year with my girls since I can actually talk about it with a little more conviction.
Oh, and Halloween with its association to All Saints Day, also has religious ties.
Even a 30 year old can be taught! Love you Rebecca!
