About Leprechaun Day
"World Leprechaun Day is a tribute to the colorful Irish pigmies that wreck havoc and endeavor to hide from those seeking their fortune. Honestly, who doesn’t love leprechauns? These pint size fairies of Irish lore are the bringers of good luck and wealth…if you can catch them! Dressed in the uniform of a shoemaker, little leprechauns are said to spend their days in solitary making shoes and guarding their pot of gold which is said to appear at the end of rainbows.
Leprechauns first appear in the medieval tale Echtra Fergus mac Léti (Adventure of Fergus son of Léti), an ode to Irish legend and a king of Ulster. The story is believed to have been written sometime in the 14th Century."
