I'm down here. Welcome to number 22. I'm Thomas Ticker.

0:00:210:00:26

And I love all kinds of parties and celebrations.

0:00:260:00:28

In the festival I've got to show you today

0:00:290:00:32

you're going to see rather a lot of one particular colour.

0:00:320:00:35

It's not blue.

0:00:360:00:37

And it's not yellow.

0:00:400:00:41

It's...

0:00:420:00:44

..green! Ha-ha-ha!

0:00:490:00:52

The festival is called Saint Patrick's Day.

0:00:520:00:55

And Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland.

0:00:550:00:58

It's a fantastic party.

0:01:000:01:01

And I've got two friends who are going to tell us all about it.

0:01:010:01:04

-Hi, I'm Aidine.

-And I'm Orla.

0:01:070:01:10

And we're going to be celebrating Saint Patrick's Day!

0:01:100:01:14

We live in Downpatrick in Northern Ireland

0:01:140:01:18

where a very special man used to live a long time ago.

0:01:180:01:22

He's called Saint Patrick.

0:01:220:01:24

Tomorrow we're celebrating his life because it's Saint Patrick's Day.

0:01:240:01:29

Saint Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland.

0:01:290:01:33

There are stories about him chasing all the snakes out of Ireland too.

0:01:330:01:40

He's also said to be buried here in Downpatrick.

0:01:400:01:43

Tomorrow morning, lots of people will walk to Downpatrick Cathedral.

0:01:460:01:51

And they will remember Saint Patrick

0:01:510:01:54

and flowers will be laid on his grave here.

0:01:540:01:57

Then there will be a big parade.

0:01:570:02:00

And all these empty streets will be SO busy.

0:02:000:02:04

It's the best day of the whole year for Downpatrick.

0:02:040:02:08

We better go and get ready!

0:02:080:02:10

It's the day before Saint Patrick's Day

0:02:160:02:19

and our school has turned all green.

0:02:190:02:21

THEY CHEER

0:02:210:02:23

Green is the national colour of Ireland

0:02:240:02:27

and we wear it a lot at this time of the year.

0:02:270:02:30

I've got green hair today!

0:02:320:02:35

We're making hats for Saint Patrick's Day.

0:02:350:02:38

In Ireland we have lots of fairytales and stories.

0:02:380:02:43

There is a story about a leprechaun, a little Irish fairy,

0:02:430:02:48

who was said to be found at the end of the rainbow

0:02:480:02:52

with his pot of gold.

0:02:520:02:54

So, we're decorating our hats with rainbows and pots of gold.

0:02:540:02:59

I'm also making a hat for my cousin, Callum

0:03:020:03:05

who's coming to the parade tomorrow.

0:03:050:03:08

Beautiful!

0:03:120:03:13

Gorgeous!

0:03:150:03:16

There you go, wee princess.

0:03:190:03:22

This is the shamrock plant

0:03:220:03:24

and we're making a giant shamrock to put on the wall.

0:03:240:03:27

The shamrock is often known as the symbol of Ireland.

0:03:290:03:34

And lots of people wear it on their clothes on Saint Patrick's Day.

0:03:340:03:38

Now our shamrock's all cut out, it's time to put glitter on it.

0:03:390:03:43

At school today we have a concert.

0:03:460:03:50

And we have to decorate the school hall for it.

0:03:500:03:54

It's nearly time for our concert

0:03:540:03:56

so we better go and put this on the wall.

0:03:560:03:59

There. Our wall's decorated and we're all ready for the concert.

0:04:070:04:12

THEY CHEER

0:04:120:04:14

There's my mummy and granny coming in now.

0:04:160:04:20

The audience is waiting for the concert to start.

0:04:250:04:29

Ladies and gentlemen, we'll now have Aidine from primary three

0:04:290:04:33

who's going to recite an old Irish blessing for us.

0:04:330:04:37

An Irish Blessing.

0:04:380:04:41

Always remember to forget the things that made you sad

0:04:410:04:45

but never forget to remember the things that made you glad.

0:04:450:04:50

Always remember to forget the troubles that passed away

0:04:500:04:55

but never forget to remember the blessings that come each day.

0:04:550:05:00

This is traditional Irish dancing.

0:05:060:05:10

That's my teacher dancing!

0:05:120:05:15

Those little instruments are called tin whistles.

0:05:210:05:25

It started to get really exciting now.

0:05:270:05:30

It feels like a party.

0:05:300:05:34

Even the mummies are joining in.

0:05:340:05:37

Everyone's having such a good time.

0:05:370:05:41

We're all in the spirit for Saint Patrick's Day tomorrow now.

0:05:410:05:46

Make sure you all come and join in our celebration at the big parade.

0:05:490:05:55

Wow! That looked like the best school assembly ever!

0:05:590:06:02

And what colour was everyone wearing? Green!

0:06:020:06:05

It was green everywhere.

0:06:050:06:07

You know, not much is known about Saint Patrick.

0:06:080:06:10

There are lots of stories about him.

0:06:100:06:14

Would you like to hear one?

0:06:140:06:15

# Celebrate! #

0:06:150:06:16

Long, long ago somewhere in England or maybe Scotland

0:06:200:06:24

or maybe even Wales - no-one's sure because it was a very long time ago -

0:06:240:06:28

lived a young boy called Patrick.

0:06:280:06:31

Patrick lived a very normal life.

0:06:330:06:35

Until, one day, he was stolen by Irish raiders.

0:06:370:06:40

They bundled him on a boat and took him away to Ireland.

0:06:440:06:48

There he was made to work as a shepherd

0:06:520:06:54

for years and years and years.

0:06:540:06:57

During those years, Patrick felt lonely.

0:07:020:07:05

So he turned to God and prayed up to 100 times a day.

0:07:050:07:09

One night, he had a dream where an angel appeared and told him

0:07:130:07:17

to look for a little boat that would take him away from Ireland.

0:07:170:07:21

He walked for many days and nights

0:07:250:07:28

and eventually came across a harbour

0:07:280:07:30

where, guess what?

0:07:300:07:32

There was a little boat.

0:07:330:07:35

Patrick was delighted and persuaded the captain to take him onboard

0:07:380:07:43

and off they sailed back to England.

0:07:430:07:45

For many years, Patrick studied to become a bishop,

0:07:470:07:50

learning more and more about God.

0:07:500:07:52

Then, one night, he had a dream

0:07:530:07:55

where the angel appeared to him again.

0:07:550:07:58

The angel showed him a letter from the people of Ireland

0:07:590:08:03

asking Patrick to go back to them.

0:08:030:08:05

So, back to Ireland, Patrick went to tell everyone about God.

0:08:060:08:10

He did some truly amazing things too.

0:08:100:08:14

Some people say he even made all the snakes leave Ireland.

0:08:140:08:17

# It's great to celebrate! #

0:08:190:08:21

Wow, what an adventurous life Saint Patrick had!

0:08:210:08:25

But do you remember what Aidine had made

0:08:250:08:29

for her cousin's hat?

0:08:290:08:31

A rainbow!

0:08:320:08:34

Ha-ha!

0:08:340:08:36

Well, I can't wait to see the Saint Patrick's Day parade.

0:08:370:08:41

There's going to be loads of people and a lot of the colour green!

0:08:410:08:45

Let's see.

0:08:450:08:46

My auntie and cousin are waiting for us in Downpatrick.

0:08:470:08:51

I can't wait to give my cousin Callum this hat I made for him.

0:08:510:08:56

We're on our way to the Saint Patrick's Day parade now.

0:08:580:09:03

The train is here. Come on, everyone!

0:09:120:09:14

It's a big family day out with my daddy, mummy, brother and granny.

0:09:170:09:24

And, of course, my best friend Orla too.

0:09:240:09:27

The train set off.

0:09:300:09:31

There's lots of steam.

0:09:330:09:35

I'm really excited for the parade.

0:09:350:09:39

I can see Downpatrick Cathedral from here.

0:09:400:09:44

We're nearly there now.

0:09:490:09:51

I can see my auntie and cousin!

0:09:510:09:54

Hello.

0:10:010:10:02

Orla, look at Callum!

0:10:060:10:09

Come on! It's time to get to the parade.

0:10:090:10:13

There's lots going on in Downpatrick already.

0:10:130:10:17

And thousands of people are gathering round for the parade.

0:10:170:10:21

It's starting to get very busy.

0:10:210:10:24

But we've just got some time for lunch before the parade begins.

0:10:240:10:29

We're having Irish stew to warm our tummies before we go to the parade.

0:10:320:10:39

This Irish stew is really yummy

0:10:410:10:43

and it's got potatoes and meat and carrots in it.

0:10:430:10:47

Granny loves the stew too.

0:10:480:10:52

The parade is about to begin.

0:10:560:10:59

Can you see the parade coming?

0:11:000:11:03

Look, Mummy, Saint Patrick's coming towards us!

0:11:040:11:08

Wow, they are big dogs!

0:11:140:11:17

Look at that man on stilts!

0:11:200:11:23

Wooo!

0:11:240:11:26

There's lots of green.

0:11:260:11:28

Oh, look what's coming!

0:11:340:11:36

Look at those costumes!

0:11:370:11:40

Wow!

0:11:400:11:42

Look at those big, colourful feathers.

0:11:430:11:46

Yay!

0:11:510:11:53

This is so much fun!

0:11:530:11:55

Look, Granny, look!

0:11:580:12:00

That was so colourful!

0:12:050:12:08
