Did you today is St. Patrick's Day! Read below to learn about St. Patrick's Day myths.

St. Patrick was a real person, but some of the traditions associated with him and the holiday are actually myths. For instance, you’ll often see the four-leaf clover on St. Patrick’s Day. However, according to legend, Patrick used a three-leaf clover, or shamrock, as part of his teachings. Even though it's possible for a shamrock to grow a fourth leaf, a four-leaf clover is just considered a symbol of good luck.

Another legend says that Patrick chased all the snakes out of Ireland. The problem? These creatures never actually lived in the country. In fact many animals found throughout Europe and North America don’t live on the island of Ireland—the ocean keeps the critters away.

For those who didn't know, yesterday was Star Wars Day (May 4). A famous quote from Star Wars is "May the force be with you." On May 4, people say, "May the Fourth be with you." Today, let's draw our own Star Wars picture. Us any of the videos below and add in your own character.
