St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland
(A site where St. Patrick is said to have baptized converts to Christianity.)
It’s Saint Patrick’s Day. Which means we’re in a flurry of celebration, your kids our probably wearing green, and you ate Lucky Charms for breakfast. Okay, maybe not. In any case, it is a big day full of celebration. And St. Patrick’s Day is full of historic significance that we can (and, I might argue, should!) use to teach our kids.
Tonight, our family will be sitting down for some corned beef and potatoes (sorry, I don’t do cabbage), while we walk through a little history of St. Patrick and this day we call his.
Feel free to download this quick one page guide to walk through some teaching points with your kids, too. I hope it’s helpful.
