         <description><![CDATA[<div>Saint Patrick’s Day is an Irish holiday, that is now celebrated on the 17<sup>th</sup> of March, throughout the world, including Portugal. This festivity was created in order to honour Saint Patrick, who brought Christianity to the Emerald Isle. This is a truly amusing celebration that allows you to get creative. Moreover, there is a lot of wordplay around luck, shamrocks and leprechauns, which has established some myths. Everyone can take part in Saint Patrick’s Day by wearing a green piece of clothing to the parades or to the pubs, where they can drink green bear, the beverage associated with this day.<br><br>Ana Sofia Meireles, n.º 3, 12.º CT4<br>Beatriz Garcia, n.º 6, 12.º CT4<br><br></div>]]></description>
