I think you were the first and have them all correct!!
Send me your netspend or payment info!
Congratulations

1
The correct answer: D All of the above
St. Patrick's Day is a holiday honoring Patrick (389?-461?), the patron saint of Ireland, also called the Apostle of Ireland. It is celebrated annually on March 17, his feast day and the anniversary of his death. St. Patrick was a missionary who worked to convert the people of Ireland to Christianity; he became Ireland's first bishop sometime after 431. His use of the three-leafed shamrock to explain the doctrine of the Trinity led to its being regarded as the Irish national symbol. He is also credited with having driven the snakes out of Ireland.

2
The correct answer: B Ireland's lush landscape
Green, the national color of Ireland, symbolizes the Emerald Isle's lush landscape. A popular tradition of St. Patrick's Day is to wear green clothing -- and for reasons unknown, those not sporting green get pinched by those who are.

3
The correct answer: D Boston
The first St. Patrick's Day parade in the United States was held in 1737 in Boston -- organized by the Charitable Irish Society of Boston, the oldest Irish society organization in the Americas (founded in 1737). More than 100 U.S. cities now hold St. Patrick's Day parades and festivals. New York City's parade, which began in 1762, is one of the biggest. It marches up Fifth Avenue and traditionally stops at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

4
The correct answer: B Shoemaker
In Irish folklore, a leprechaun (from the Old Irish "lobaircin," or "small bodied fellow") is a mischievous little male fairy with magical powers who has a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A leprechaun usually works as a shoemaker or cobbler. Leprechauns actually had no relation to St. Patrick's Day until sometime after 1959, when Walt Disney Studios released "Darby O'Gill and the Little People." The film introduced America to a happy and funny leprechaun, rather unlike the crabby little fairy of Irish folklore. The cheerful leprechaun soon became a symbol of both St. Patrick's Day and Ireland in general to American audiences.

5
The correct answer: C Cabbage
In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day is an important religious holiday celebrating the conversion of the Irish to Christianity. Many enjoy a traditional meal that includes colcannon -- boiled potatoes and cabbage mashed together with butter. The day is also seen as a reprieve from the sober weeks of Lent, and adults may drink a pint of ale (called "drowning the shamrock") and allow their children some candy. Businesses are closed, except for some restaurants and pubs. People attend church services honoring St. Patrick and learn about his life. Many Irish people wear sprigs of real shamrock and greet each other by saying, "Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh," or "May the blessings of St. Patrick be with you."

6
The correct answer: B Little clover
The shamrock is from the Irish "seamrog," meaning "little clover." It is the common name for any of several trifoliate clovers native to Ireland. The shamrock is the national symbol of Ireland -- most shamrocks, especially the rare four-leaf clover, have been considered by the Irish as good luck symbols since earliest times. Shamrocks or various representations of the plant are worn by celebrants on St. Patrick's Day. The hop clover is widely accepted as the original shamrock picked by St. Patrick.

7
The correct answer: B Sláinte!
On St. Patrick's Day, if you are lucky enough to be having a tasty pint of stout or lager at an Irish pub, the perfect toast would be "Sláinte!" (Irish for "Cheers!" or "Toast!"). Otherwise you would be toasting with "Sandwich!" ("Ceapaire!"), "Sweater!" ("Geansaí!") or "Computer!" ("Ríomhaire!"). Many Irish-themed pubs in the United States, just for the special St. Patrick's Day holiday, go as far as serving green beer -- beer with a few drops of green food coloring added.

8
The correct answer: A Dyeing the Chicago River green for a day
A popular St. Patrick's tradition since 1962 has been dyeing the Chicago River green for a day. The idea came to Stephen Bailey -- business manager of the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Local Union #110 -- when he was approached by a plumber whose coveralls were covered with green dye. This dye, a perfect "Irish green" to Bailey's eye, was originally used to detect the illegal dumping of sewage into the river. After some experimentation and trial and error, Chicago now uses 40 pounds of a vegetable-based, non-polluting green dye to turn its river green. The Sears Tower antennas have been illuminated with green lights for St. Paddy's Day since 1997.

9
The correct answer: D 2004
Baseball's Boston Red Sox was the first team to play in green jerseys to mark St. Patrick's Day in 2004 (their socks, however, stayed red). The "Luck o' the Irish" must have been with them, for 2004 proved to be a banner year for the Red Sox. Their 98 wins in the regular season were followed by a history-making American League Championship series, when they overcame a 3-0 deficit to the Yankees, beating them in seven games. The Red Sox became the first team in Major League Baseball history to recover from a 3-0 deficit. The pot of gold was a Red Sox World Series championship -- their first in 86 years.
10
The correct answer: C Montserrat
The Caribbean island of Montserrat -- along with the Republic of Ireland and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador -- is one of the three places in the world where St. Patrick's Day is an official public holiday. In Montserrat, March 17 also commemorates the martyrdom of those who died in a failed slave uprising in 1768, when African-Montserratian slaves revolted against the island's Irish plantation owners. Montserrat, the "Emerald Isle of the Caribbean," hosts a week-long celebration of the St. Paddy's Day holiday.
