Celtic Cross Coloring Pages

Celebrate your Irish heritage and St. Patrick’s Day with these Celtic Cross coloring pages.

"When Patrick went back to Ireland to convert the Irish to Christianity, he was successful because he didn't try to make the Irish forget their old beliefs. He combined their old beliefs with the new beliefs.

One example of this is the Celtic Cross. Saint Patrick added the sun, a powerful Irish symbol, onto the Christian cross to create what is now called a Celtic cross, so that the new symbol of Christianity would be more natural to the Irish."

History of the Pinata

Party pinatas are very popular games at children’s birthday parties. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors so that they can match the theme of the child’s birthday party. Every kid looks forward to hitting the pinata, and they all want to be the one who knocks it open. When it does break open, they can hardly wait to rush in and grab the treats. What kids probably don’t think about is where the pinata comes from. Where did it originate, and how did it become the popular party game it is today?

Where Does the Pinata Come From?

Party piñatas originated in China when Marco Polo discovered how to make figures of cows, oxen, and buffalo. He would cover the figures in colorful paper. To welcome in the New Year, people would fill piñatas with seeds and knock the figures with colorful sticks. Traditionally, collecting the seeds and burning them would bring people good luck.
