Sessions

Fairies & Giants • March 1

From the tiny to the big, we know many stories of fairies and giants, but the Irish tales are a wee bit different.

Leprechauns • March 8

Ireland’s most famous mythical creature is often associated with the phrase “Luck of the Irish.” Legends of leprechauns have them successfully protecting their pots of gold from humans, making them lucky.

St. Patrick • March 15

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, and we use St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate Irish culture. Before he was a saint, though, did you know he got rid of all the snakes in Ireland?
