Our au pair group made some NOISE at Sunday’s hockey game at the XL Center in Hartford. The CT Whale scored in each period, scoring a 3-1 victory over the Springfield Falcons. This was the Whale’s third win in three days!

St. Patrick’s Day - March 17

Posted by: mcalabro on March 14, 2011

Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated each year on March 17 in countries around the world by the Irish and the “Irish at Heart”.

The first year St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated in America was in 1737 in
Boston, Massachusetts. The first official St. Patrick’s Day parade was
held in New York City in 1766. As the saying goes, on this day
“everybody is Irish!” Over 100 U.S. cities now hold Saint Patrick’s Day
parades and we all felt the Irish Spirit at the 40th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Hartford:

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and is credited for converting the Irish people to Christianity. According to legend, St. Patrick used a three-leafed shamrock to illustrate the idea of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost). The St. Patrick mythology also includes the claim that he banished snakes from Ireland. He charmed the snakes into the sea so that they drowned.
