Leprechauns are small mythical creatures from Irish folklore that are shoemakers for fairies and usually stand around 2 feet tall. The Blarney Stone is located in Blarney Castle in Ireland and kissing it is believed to bring eloquence; one must climb many steps and lean back to kiss it while holding rails. The shamrock, a green clover, is the unofficial symbol of Ireland and wearing green on St. Patrick's Day prevents getting pinched. Finding a four-leaf clover, wearing green, kissing the Blarney Stone, and trying to catch a Leprechaun are said to bring good luck on St. Patrick's Day.
The legend of St. Patrick tells how he helped rid Ireland of snakes. As a priest in Ireland, Patrick wanted to help the people who were afraid of snakes living on the island. He played his drum loudly, causing all the snakes to slide away. Patrick then walked all over Ireland until the last snake was gone. The people were thankful and called Patrick a saint. Today no snakes are found in Ireland.
