St. Partricks Day

St. Patrick Day:
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, for the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. On St. Patricks day, Irish families traditionally go to church in the morning and then celebrate in the afternoon.


Bloody Sunday:
On January 30, 1972, people from the British army shot at a unarmed and peaceful civilian. This killed 13 people, and wounded many others. The British-government-appointed Widgery Tribunal found soldiers were not guilty of shooting dead the 13 civilians in cold blood.

Limericks:
A limerick is a five-line poem written with one couplet and one triplet. Some people say that the limerick was invented by soldiers returning from France to the Irish town of Limerick in the 1700's.
