Lore Connected with St Patrick's Day  [duchas:4959927]

Lore Connected With St Patrick's Day
On St Patrick's (Day) Eve long ago the people made badges for the children, and on St Patricks Day the children wore them on their shoulders. All the shops were open and the men enjoyed themselves drinking in the public house. They would take the shamrock out of their hats, and drown it in the glass of stout. This was called drowning the shamrock. It was a great day for the (publication) publican and seed merchant. It was a custom for the farmer's to buy all the seed they needed on St Patricks Day.
