    Folklore.
    Long ago there were a lot of customs attached to St Patricks Day.
    The people used to make Crosses out of cardboard and pin them on their shoulders.
    The young people held feasts on St Patricks Day.
    The men were saving their money for a month before St Patricks Day and on that a crowd of men would go to some public house and stay there untill the next morning drinking and this name was put on it St Patricks Pot
