    Share Share Post
    On St. Patrick's Day the people wear shamrock. The women and children wear it in their coats and the men wear it in their hats.
    On St. Patrick's Day every man has to drink a glass of whiskey. St Patrick ordered them to drink "Bun Padraig". It is called "Drowning The Shamrock".
