Saint Patrick was a fifth century Christian missionary in Ireland. Interestingly, he was actually British, kidnapped by pirates and held as a slave in Ireland for 6 years before escaping. Later, he returned to proselytize. Another fun bit of trivia – the four-leaf clover is not a shamrock. A shamrock has only 3 leaves, and Saint Patrick used it during a sermon to illustrate the concept of the Holy Trinity.
Today, we’re playing Meadows. Simply divide the grid into square regions. Every region must contain exactly one four-leaf clover.
In 2008, Amtrak wanted to raise awareness about the history and benefits of rail travel. They declared National Train Day to fall on the Saturday closest to May 10th each year. May 10th is the anniversary of the pounding of the Golden Spike in Provost, Utah, which completed the first transcontinental railroad. Amtrak discontinued their endorsement of the holiday in 2015, but rail fans continue to celebrate.
