St Patrick´s day, national day of IRELAND

For ST. Patrick´s, you have posted a lot of GREEN things:
- The green water of the Chicago river,USA:
Irish live all over the world.Many live in the USA.They celebrate St.Patrick all over the world.Like Galicians,they have emigrated all over the world.
- Leprechauns: The only link between St.Patrick and these mysterious beings is that they are TYPICALLY Irish, just like Guinness beer.
But leprechauns are very interesting creatures if you like Irish Mythology.
In Irish mythology, a leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán) is a type of male faerie said to inhabit the island of Ireland.

Leprechauns and other creatures of Irish folklore are often associated with "faerie forts" or "faerie rings"— often the sites of ancient (Celtic or pre-Celtic) earthworks or drumlins.Listen to a leprechaun story here...

Leprechauns usually take the form of old men who enjoy being tricky. Their job is that of a cobbler or shoemaker. People think they are very rich, having many treasure crocks buried .According to legend, if anyone keeps an eye fixed upon one, he cannot escape, but the moment the gaze is withdrawn, he vanishes.
Among the most popular of beliefs about leprechauns is that they like to hide their gold in secret locations . Another popular belief is that you may find a leprechaun and his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
