Don’t think I’ve ever done a St. Patrick’s Day post. Since life is still driving me too crazy to do enough research for a good animal post, I’m going to do another holiday. Enjoy.
By the way, I don’t really know much about this holiday. Someone I knew claimed to be Irish and talked about this holiday being important, but they only did Irish soda bread and corned beef with cabbage. That feels like an Americanization of something. What does happen on this holiday?

Dt. Patrick’s Day parades were held in New York even before the Revolution! I think as a way of saying, We are here and staying!

Those were good memes. Funny enough, I was explaining the basics of St. Patrick’s Day to my Swahili teacher yesterday. In Ireland, they still have parades, but there’s usually a church service earlier that day before people celebrate and pubs weren’t open on St. Patrick’s Day in that country until the 1970s. In Northern Ireland, people fly shamrock flags instead of the Irish flag given the sad national and sectarian history of that part of Europe. It actually used to be illegal centuries ago for the Irish to wear green or shamrock designs under British occupation since it symbolized the Irish rebellion back then.

Definitely a different holiday here than in Ireland itself. Usually the case.

Very true. There’s more of a religious aspect over there despite the other celebrations (understandably so since St. Patrick is Ireland’s patron saint) compared to America. Yes, I know he wasn’t born in that country, but he is still a big deal there.
