What a Wonderful Window

A window opened over Estonian, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese and Turkish schools

This is the window where / The voices of our childhood meet

This is the window where / A kingdom of tenderness and tolerance begins

And together, holding hands, / We build

An alfabeth of peace and hope (Domingos Santos)

St. Patrick's Day (Ireland)

St. Patrick is the patron Saint of Ireland. We celebrate his feast day tomorrow 17th March. It is a public holiday and all the schools are closed. There are parades in all our towns and everybody dresses up in green - a little like your Mardi Gras and wears shamrock. The shamrock is a small green plant with three leaves and St. Patrick used it to explain the Blessed Trinity.
