I`ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget

March 2016
I’ve learned
that people
will forget
what you
said,
people will
forget what
you did, but
people will
NOT forget
how you
made them
feel!

Erin Go Bragh - Saint Patrick's Day When: March 17th.
Saint Patrick's day is in honor of the Patron Saint of Ireland, who brought Christianity to the Emerald Isles, as
Ireland is known. It is truly a day of celebrating Irish history, ancestry, traditions and customs.
Are you Irish perchance!?! Well, the saying goes everyone is a little Irish on Saint Patricks's Day.
Roots of Tradition: Saint Patrick's day is held in honor of Saint Patrick, the missionary who brought christianity to the
Irish people in the 400's AD.
Erin Go Braugh is perhaps the most common Irish term you will hear. It means "Ireland Forever"
Did You Know? Over 34 million Americans are of Irish descent. That's almost nine times the populaton of Ireland!
The real meaning of Easter
The real meaning of Easter, is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead. To Christians, it is the most special day of the year.
Yes,the birth of Christ is quite important. But, his resurrection
offers the hope of everlasting life to everyone! The Lenten season
leading up to Easter Sunday is a time of fasting, sacrifice and
prayer. It is the christian way of replicating in a small way what
Christ sacrificed for us, both in his fasting and his final death on
the cross.
The word "Easter" comes for the Saxon pagan festival, honoring
the goddess "Eastre" (also called Oestre). The goddess Eastre's
symobl is the rabbit.
Easter also also is celebrated with the Easter Bunny, colored eggs,
jelly beans, and lot's of chocolate. He (or she, as we are never quite
sure about this) comes on Saturday night leading to Easter Sunday
morning. He brings lots of chocolates and other candies. That's one
meaning to Easter, especially if you are a kid or a "Chocolaholic".
