St. Patrick Day

St. Patrick’s Day

           

He was not irish he was born in Britain. He was kidnapped by Britain a colony.It's a stereotypical thing that St.Patrick’s Day is a Irish Traditional holiday.Although once St.Patrick died the irish took it as there on holiday. St. Patrick converted to Irish to Christianity.He became a priest in Europe.

St. Patrick’s Day is to celebrate the Roman Catholic Feast of the patron saint of Ireland.St.Patrick died on March 17,461

It is designated on March 17 because it is the day of a feast and it is a national day kind of thing.Also St.patrick dies on March 14, 461.

If it should be a certain color it should Blue because St.patrick’s color was blue a specific shade of blue St.Patrick blue.But it is Green because it was associated with Ireland and the  Shamrock that St.Patrick used to show trinity.

The Shamrock:St.Patrick used it to show trinity to everyone

The rivers:It started in Chicago They would dye a portion of the river green

Sydney Australia

Sydney Australia

 

I selected this place because I like the ocean and architects.The Sydney Tower is the second tallest tower in Australia.Sydney was the first place the British Colony was sighted.As of 2012, Australia has an estimated population of over 22 million people.Sydney has a lot of really fun things to do like go to Luna Park.They have a really big and fun Opera House.Due to its large size and isolation from the rest of the world, Australia is sometimes known as the ‘island continent’.The name ‘Australia’ comes from the Latin word ‘australis’, meaning southern.Australia is the world's 6th largest country by area.A desert area known as the ‘outback’ covers much of the land.Australia has over 750 different reptile species, more than any other country in the world.Australia is a relatively wealthy country with a high life expectancy.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving did not become an annual tradition until 200 years later from the first meal.And the first meal in 1621 wasn't just a meal it was a 3 day celebration.They celebrated because the pilgrims had a good harvest and the indians killed 5 deers as a gift to the pilgrims.Also they did not have turkey neither did they have pumpkin pie or potatoes because it wasn’t introduced to new england. They had cranberries but they were served plain not in a sauce or relish. The pilgrims did not intend to keep it as a tradition.In 1789 president George Washington made the first Thanksgiving meal in November 24, 1789.But it did not become a annual tradition until the 19th century.An american writer named Sara Josepha Hale who wrote Mary had a little lamb wrote a book to trying to explain what happened onthat day.In 1827 it took 30 years for it to became a national holiday. She wrote recipes on how to make Pumpkin Pie, Stuffing,Bread,Turkey,Cranberry Sauce, and Mash Potatoes. In 1863 during the Civil War Abraham Lincoln announced they would celebrate Thanksgiving every year on the 24th of November. They actually changed Thanksgiving to a week later to give shop owners a better profit but then changed back to Nov. 24.Every Thanksgiving the President gives pardon to a turkey and sent to a farm for retirement instead of the dinner table.
