Spring Holiday

1. I decided to draw a beautiful spring day. I beleive that this picture really shows what a spring day is like with the flowers and the brilliant sun.
2. An interesting fact I discovered was that St. Patrick's day is celebrated in honor of Saint Patrick, who converted the people in Ireland to Christian faith.
One interesting fact about St. Patrick's day is that Saint Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Christian holy trinity.
Another interesting fact is that we celebrate on March 17th because Saint Patrick died on March 17th, 461 AD.
The original color of St. Patrick's day is blue, but Irish people have associated the color green because it is said in legends that mortal creatures and fairies wear green.
