St. Patrick's Day 2011 Special


 Display at Emporium - Main Street U.S.A. - Magic Kingdom

Saint Patrick's Day is a religious holiday celebrated internationally on 17 March. It is named after Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland. It originated as a Catholic holiday and became an official feast day in the early 17th century. It has gradually become more of a secular celebration of Irish culture.

St. Patrick's Day Earhat

The hat has a retail of $14.95, and is the perfect accent to your St. Patrick’s Day outfit. It can also be found on the Disney Parks on-line store.

Erin go bragh! It means Ireland Forever. You won't get pinched on St. Paddy's Day wearing this green St. Patrick's Day 2011 Mickey Mouse Ear Hat. A little leprechaun hat sits between Mickey's ears and ''St. Patrick's Day 2011'' is embroidered on front.

Originally, the colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue. Over the years the colour green and its association with Saint Patrick's day grew. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century. He is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish, and the wearing and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a ubiquitous feature of the day. In the 1798 rebellion, in hopes of making a political statement, Irish soldiers wore full green uniforms on 17 March in hopes of catching public attention. The phrase "the wearing of the green", meaning to wear a shamrock on one's clothing, derives from a song of the same name.


My son and I found a four-leaf clover in our yard about two years ago,” said Jeanne. “We pressed it in a book with the hope it would bring us good luck. It has so far.”

- Jeanne Lewis, developer for the two St. Patrick’s Day limited edition pins,

    tο possibly grаb ρeople's attention? I mean "St. Patrick's Day 2011 Sρеcіal" is a little boring. You could peek at Yahoo's front page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers to click. You might add a video or a picture or two to grab people excited about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

  11. If you have to explain a lot to a prospective user then your beat is probably not going
    to work. I entered a beat showcase in '06 as Apollo Brown and it stuck. Was there ever a meeting between you two to squash it or did the beef just die out.

  12. Natural doctors can diagnose your personal condition if every other
    suggestion doesn't work and they will generally have the ability to recommend something which will improve your situation. Though you need the natural oils on your face, you do not need the oils from facial products. In the event you don't get the results
    you desire, you have not wasted your cash.

  13. They all permit you to create beats but the differences in between them
    can make all of the distinction with regards to your finished creation.
    Have you ever sat back and listen to the radio or television, or maybe at a
    night club and wonder how to make rap beats.

  14. What may be right for you may not be right for others. The benefits of honey on the skin are not fully understood but acknowledged by the dermatology community.
    You must also replace bed sheets, blankets, pillow cases and couch covers frequently to avoid lying down on dirty surfaces.
