Cade and I spent the day learning a little about the history of Ireland. As they say “On St. Patty’s Day, everyone is Irish”. Many of the traditions we know for the holiday (wearing green, corned beef & cabbage, etc.) are actually American-Irish traditions. We decided to celebrate by wearing green and making some yummy green cupcakes and taking them to friends.
We enjoyed talking about the importance of missionary work and how the Lord prepares nations to receive the gospel, inspired by Patrick. We didn’t celebrate the “leave of lent” however, choosing to refrain from alcohol, we talked about how the Lord gave us bodies we need to care for. It was a rich history/gospel lesson, and a lot of fun!
