The luck of the Irish has descended upon us once more as we frolic to wily leprecauns not to be confused with lepers, of course. And, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, and his mighty miracle of ridding the Emerald Isle of rats, some tribute to Irish wit and humor is offered here and wherever the debunked by the Pope, Saint Patrick, is celebrated in honor of his folk.

Irish sayings are notoriously full of nostalgia for the home land and also full of wisdom. The Irish, however, have made today, March 17, 2010, especially memorable by teaching us also a little of the Irish language, a Celtic twisting of the tongue and one can sound like the Irish, if occassion warrants.

Did you know that “Ireland Forever” in Irish is “Erin Go Bragh”. Ireland is actually Erin in the native tongue of the Irish. More Irish humor and wit is part and parcel of the myth that the Irish are born lucky. There favorite saying is, “If you’re lucky enough to be Irish, then you’re lucky enough.”

Wisdom that profound has more meaning of the love of Erin for Erin despite the hardships of living on Erin.
St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated with festivities and revelry and not one mention to the Pope about an Irish blessing on March 17, 2010.
