Те, которые дают советы, не сопровождая их примерами, походят на дорожные столбы, которые дорогу указывают, но сами по ней не ходят. - А. Ривароль

An Irish national and religous holiday, this is a day (although not a national holiday) that is also highly observed in the United States by a number of activities and traditions including parades, the wearing of green clothing, the drinking of green beer and the singing of Irish folk songs such as "Danny Boy". Named after St. Patrick, who, among other accomplishments, was known to have driven the snakes from Ireland, the shamrock also has an interesting legend behind it.
