Leprechaun

Why can't you borrow money from a leprechaun?

Because they're always a little short. :-)

As per the folklore, the Leprechauns spend all their time busily making shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If ever captured by a human, the Leprechaun has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for their release.

Let us draw a leprechaun.

• Write 11 and then draw two rectangles in the middle one inside the other.
• Write Is as shown in figure two to make the hat.
• Start making ears by writing C in each side.

• Join free ends of C with U.
• Write one I and then another one that is tilted towards right.
• Make tummy by writing J.

• Make the hands by writing J on each side.
• Start making legs by writing an upside down V at the middle of tummy.
• Write 1 on either side of V.
• Join the tips of V and I with I.
• Write a big L and a small L as shown in the next picture to make the boots.

• Write small upside down Us on each boot.
• Join the tip of I and the end of L with V.
• Finish face with two dots for eyes and U for the smile.

We are done.

Why did the leprechaun stand on the potato?

 To keep from falling in the stew! :-)

Clover

Why do people wear shamrocks on St. Patrick's Day?

Regular rocks are too heavy. :-)

One traditional icon of the day is the shamrock.St.  Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. 

The four-leaf clover is an uncommon variation of the common, three-leaved clover. According to tradition, such leaves bring good luck to their finders, especially if found accidentally.

According to legend, each leaf represents something: the first is for hope, the second is for faith, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.

Lets draw one now.

• Start by writing a plus sign. An I and then an I lying across.
• Then write an X as shown in the second picture.

 

•  Join the edges of I and X which are next to each other with number 3.
• Write J for stem.

Lucky clover is ready!!!

May you find good luck this year!!

Lucky Coin

What's big and purple and lies next to Ireland?

 Grape Britain!

St. Patrick's Day is a popular holiday in the United States since many Americans have ancestors who migrated to the United States from Ireland.

Let us draw a St. Patrick Day lucky coin.

• Start by writing a big O.
• Write a plus inside this O. Then write X centered same as the plus sign.
• Join the ends of + and X with 3. That will give us four clover leaves.

• Write LUCKY COIN inside this O.

Our lucky coin is ready.!!

How can you tell if an Irishman is having a good time?

He's Dublin over with laughter! :-)

Hat

What do you call a clumsy Irish dance?

A jig mistake! :-)

St. Patrick's Day is observed on March 17, the date of Patrick's death. It is celebrated both in and outside of Ireland, as both a liturgical and non-liturgical holiday. In Ireland it is both a solemnity and a holy day of obligation and outside of Ireland, it can be a celebration of Ireland itself. 

Lets draw an Irish Hat.

• Write 11 and top it with I.
• Write another small 11 as in the second picture and join the edges with I. This is a small rectangle.
• Draw another small rectangle inside the big one.

• Join the middle of rectangles with the edges of hat with one I on each side.
• Write more horizontal Is on either side and then a long I at the bottom.
• Write a plus(+) on top right of the hat and then a X centered at the same dot.

• Join edges of I and X with 3 and then color the hat.

Happy St. Patrick's day!!
