St. Patrick’s Day Traditions that will Bring you Good Luck

The term ‘the luck of the Irish’ is correlated with good luck, and it is believed that doing certain things might bring you happiness and enlighten your life. You don’t need to be a part of the Irish community to participate in the fun.

You can invoke good luck with little effort. There are so many mays to invite good luck to your lives, but most of us don’t know how.

Find a Four-Leaf Clover:

Christian communities all over Ireland follow the theory of Saint Patrick’s Trinity and represent it with a three-leaf shamrock. But finding a four-leaf clover is symbolic to good luck, just remember, finding a four-leaf clover is as tough as finding water in a desert.

Burn Sage:

Burning a sage is a symbol of burning all the negativity from your surroundings. It’s perceived to have a special energy that fights against evil.

Wear Green:

This tradition is associated with the myth of the pinching leprechaun, who pinches people not wearing green outfits. To avoid the annoying pinching, people wear green head to toe on that day. It is believed to get them good luck in life.

Kiss an Irish:

On St. Patrick’s Day kissing someone who is Irish can bring you good luck. That’s why people wear “kiss me, I’m, I’m Irish” written t-shirts on that day

Take a Shamrock Shot:

Tossing a shamrock in a glass of whiskey is a symbol of good fortune. But don’t eat the shamrock, only drink the shot.  Tossing it over the left shoulder is a sign of good fortune.

Carry a Cinnamon Stick:

Although carrying a cinnamon stick is weird, it is perceived as a good sign, and is popular throughout Ireland. People usually carry a cinnamon stick in their wallet to get prosperous.

Irish Soda Bread:

The bread is made with flour, eggs, buttermilk, and baking soda. The delicious item pledges to bring you happiness in your life, filling your life with positivity and joy. It is believed to help you get rid of the negative entities.

Chant Irish Blessing:

If you are not able to follow all these traditions, don’t worry! You can chant the special Irish blessing, and that will make your day fresh and enlightening.
