Teacher1: March 17 is St. Patrick's Day. It's a national Irish holiday. But many people who immigrated to the United States have come from Ireland. Today, Irish descendants in the United States put on a noisier and bigger St. Patrick's Day celebration than the people in Ireland. Every year on March 17 or the preceding Saturday, cities with large population of Irish Americans have parades. Green is one of the national colours of Ireland and also one of the signs of spring. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons and hats. Many American bars even serve green beer on that day!

 Teacher2: The person who was to become St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Wales about AD 385. When he was 16, he was sold into slavery to Ireland where he was a shepherd for 6 years. While in captivity he studied and turned to religion. He escaped slavery and later returned to Ireland as a missionary, determined to convert Ireland to Christianity. He used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.

Patrick was quite successful at winning converts. And this fact upset the Celtic Druids. Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. He traveled throughout Ireland, establishing monasteries across the country. He also set up schools and churches which would aid him in his conversion of the Irish country to Christianity.

His mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years. After that time, Patrick retired to County Down. He died on March 17 in AD 461. That day has been commemorated as St. Patrick's Day.

Teacher1: We have got two teams: the first team is “Leprechauns ”, the second – “Shamrocks”

During our lesson you have to gather as more four-leaf clover as you can. At the end of the lesson the surprise is waited for you.

Teacher2: Now we are going to listen about symbols and traditions of St. Patrick`s ST. PATRICK

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he was enslaved by Irish pirates who raided his home, probably in South Wales. He managed to escape from the pirates and began to be trained as a priest for priesthood, but he never completed his training. Still he was determined to return to Ireland and to evangelize its people. He is said to have landed again in Ireland in the 5th century and his work was a vital factor in the spread of Christian influence there. His symbols are snakes and shamrocks. His feast-day is on the 17th of March. This church festival is regarded as a national day in Ireland. Shamrock was used by St. Patrick to illustrate the doctrine of Trinity. It is adopted as the national emblem of Ireland.

Teacher1: One of the  symbols of this holiday is limerick. Who can recite the poem?

Pupil 1: Little Leprechauns wearing Top Hat's

             With Shamrocks, in fields of clover

             Are wishing a "Happy St. Patty's Day"

             To people this whole world over

Pupil 2: St. Patrick's Day is here, you see.
             We'll pick some shamrocks, one, two, and three.
             We'll count the leaves and look them over, 
             And maybe find a four-leafed clover.

              I'll sew green buttons on my vest; 
            Green for St. Patrick is the best.
            I'll wear a green hat, very high, 
           And dance a jig--at least I'll try!

Pupil 3: I’m looking over a four leaf clover
            That I overlooked before.
            One leaf is sunshine,
            The second is rain,
            Third is the rose
            That grows in the lane.

             No need explaining
            The one remaining
            Is somebody I adoure.
            I’m looking over a four leaf clover
            That I overlooked before

Teacher2: Now, let`s have fun! We have prepared some interesting tasks for you! The second task is Shamrock. You have to help Sean find his pot of gold.( слайд 7

That's all we have time for. I hope you liked the lesson and now you know  more about British holidays. The lesson is over. We have got a surprise for you from Leprechaun.
