It's a day meant to honor Saint Patrick, a missionary who is said to have converted the Irish to Christianity sometime around 400 A.D. Saint Patrick's legend doesn't end with his conversion of the Irish to Christianity. In fact, it doesn't even begin there. When he was just sixteen years old, Saint Patrick was kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave. His captivity lasted six years. During that time he relied on his religious faith to get him through. When he finally escaped, Saint Patrick went to Europe to study religion, later traveling to Ireland to spread his message. As a means of teaching Christianity to the Irish pagans, Saint Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock as a means of explaining the Trinity. One legend also says that Saint Patrick was responsible for driving hordes of snakes out of Ireland. Whether or not that's literally true is uncertain. However, many people believe the legend is a metaphor for Saint Patrick driving paganism out of Ireland. Though the holiday has a religious and cultural background, Americans, regardless of whether or not they have any Irish blood, celebrate the day by wearing green, drinking green beverages, and even eating unnaturally green foods. Saint Patrick's Day is also a great day for sending flowers that say, "Kiss Me! I'm Irish!" even when you're not! Although Saint Patrick's Day isn't generally thought of as a flower-giving holiday, it's really a great day to surprise someone you care about with a gift of flowers. Your florist can create an Irish-themed floral arrangement in a cute shamrock-shaped or leprechaun container. Or, you might prefer a loose bouquet of flowers in beautiful shades of white and green tied with a bright green ribbon. Regardless of whom your Saint Patrick's Day flowers are for, your florist will be able to help you find the perfect flowers. All you need to do is call or stop in with a little information about the recipient, such as gender, relationship to you, and where he or she can be reached for delivery. Ordering flowers is a simple, inexpensive way of spreading a bit of Irish luck for Saint Patrick's Day. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
