4ESO - St. Patrick's Day (Reading Practise) (by Carla)

Hello!


So, as you probably know, it was Saint Patrick's Day (the Irish National Holiday) on Tuesday. Even though most celebrations couldn't take place in Ireland because of the current situation, I thought you would be interested to read a little bit about the origin and the history of Saint Patrick's Day.


Here is an article by National Geographic titled "Who was Saint Patrick and why does he have a day?".


'A Pint of Plain' or 'The Workman's Friend', a homage to the pint of Guinness, is a poem by Flann O' Brien and recited here by The Dubliners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYudr9FAGOA William Butler Yeats reciting his poem 'The Lake Isle of Inisfree': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLlcvQg9i6c Seamus Heaney reciting his poem 'The Underground': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30LR0tIDb3g


'My Ireland' a poem by Stephen James Smith:


I hope you find the articles and the poems interesting!


Best wishes,

Carla
