Today is what? St.Patrick!
Day!
Oh I see! Today is St.Patrick's!
What is the date?
March. 17th.
Ah! March 17th!
Ah! March 17th!
Oh! What about the viewers?
Happy St.Patrick's!
Do you know who St.Patrick is?
He's a boy from England. (2 signs shown for England - ASL and their sign)
He's a boy from England. (2 signs shown for England - ASL and their sign)
England? I'm puzzled. I thought he was from Ireland?
No, Gianna can explain.
Really???
He's a boy who was born
in England. His family was wealthy.
They had a big house.
Then one day, a bunch of Irish raiders attacked their estate.
They kidnapped St.Patrick as a boy when he was 16 years old.
At age 16? That's young!
Poor him!
Then what happened next?
That boy was imprisoned for 6 years.
6 years?!?!? Wow! That is a long time!
So does that mean he sat there for a long time being bored?
No, no, he was working as a shepherd. He took care of sheep.
Then God told him to escape now.
But he was afraid and did not want to be captured again. God said now.
Then he said fine, and escaped.
Escaped??? How did he escape?
He walked for 200 miles.
200 miles? That's far! Wow! He had the guts! That is a long walk!
Then he arrived in England.
What he did was he read, learned, and studied about God's words in the Bible. For 15 years.
He must have a lot of knowledge! Whoa. 15 years. Wow.
So what did he do next?
Why did many people think he is from Ireland?
Because he was called to Ireland to preach about God.
So that people would believe in God.
Oh I see, wanted people to believe in God? Oh, I see.
Hmmm.
Okay, next question, why green?
Why green?
Know why? That man preached with what?
Its called Shamrock.
Oh, its that three leaf plant called Shamrock.
It has three leaves...
1) Holy Spirit
2) Father
and 3) Jesus.
Oh, that makes sense. Oh, now I understand!
Thanks for explaining it to me. Now that I learned about it. Thanks.
Okay, now next question...
What's up with March 17th? Why did they choose that day?
March 17th, why?
I know why, because he became old and died on March 17th. So people honored him.
So we learn from him, so okay, we honored him. So we decided on that.
So that's why March 17th. He died on March 17th and we wanted to remember and honor him. Ah, I see.
Interesting. I am puzzled as to why his sign name is signed like this. I don't understand why.
That boy named Patrick... But why sign name like this? Because if not wear green, then you get pinched.
Should honor on March 17th, because he died, if not honor him then get pinched.
Really, the pinching is just made up. But, it was just to show that the person did not honor him.
Oh, okay. Next question. You see these gold buttons, chain, and handkerchief. Why gold? What's up with gold? Why is it so special?
I know why. Because, true business, there are leprechauns.
Leprechauns? You mean these folk with pointy ears, short, and dances like this?
Yeah, that. They make many shoes. So the others wanted to buy these shoes.
The leprechauns collected gold. They had a pile of gold. Oh wow!
You know that when you see a rainbow, the leprechaun, I mean, leprechaun's gold is at the end of the rainbow.
The pot is filled with shiny gold.
At the end of the rainbow? Hmm.
Oh! Look! What's that? A rainbow! Ooooh!
That means there's possibly gold?
If we get gold, they will grant you 3 wishes.
3 wishes??? Wow!
Why not the three of us go there and get the gold?
If we get gold, why not we all get one wish each?
That's a good idea!
A wish for each one of us!
Yeah! Ready to go? And get gold? Yay!
