Lucky Charms and St. Patrick's Day

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! It's the holiday when we celebrate the patron saint of rainbows, good luck, and leprechauns. On this day we can also pinch people if they’re not wearing green. Maybe you love this holiday, maybe you roll your eyes at all the festivities. Whatever your feelings toward St. Patrick’s Day, there’s a lot of interesting history behind all the goofiness associated with it. Here to explain the history and traditions of Saint Patrick’s Day is Reverend Dr. Patricia M Lyons, who teaches at the Virginia Theological Seminary.
