Fun Facts About St. Patrick’s Day
- St. Patrick’s Real Name Wasn’t Patrick – His name was Maewyn Succat. He changed it to Patricius when he became a bishop.
- The Myth of the Pot of Gold – According to Irish folklore, leprechauns hide their pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. The story likely originated from ancient beliefs that rainbows were magical and unreachable, making the gold nearly impossible to find.
- Leprechauns Were Originally Worn-Out Shoemakers – In Irish folklore, leprechauns were believed to be shoemakers who worked tirelessly, which is why they always had a hidden stash of gold from their hard-earned money.

I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s not available anymore. It’s been running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
