Some fun St. Patrick's Day trivia...

Why are shamrocks lucky? The story goes that St. Patrick used these three leaf clovers to explain the principles of the Holy Trinity as he ministered Christianity in Ireland. Since most people couldn't read, using the symbol of the shamrock made it easy for them to remember the idea of three beings becoming one.

Why do people drink on St. Patrick's Day? Traditionally, the Lenten restrictions on drinking alcohol were lifted on St. Patrick's Day, so this is probably the source of all the alcohol around the celebration.

What is drowning the shamrock? Drowning the shamrock (or "wetting the shamrock") is a popular toasting tradition in Ireland. A shamrock leaf is placed in the bottom of the last glass of the night, which is then filled with beer, cider or perhaps whiskey.  After a toast, the shamrock can be tossed over the shoulder for good luck, or downed with the rest of the drink.
