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.
