Good day all! Unlike last year, I remembered that St. Patrick’s Day is coming up. Once again, Irish descended Americans celebrate Saint Patrick’s converting the heathen of Ireland to Christianity. March 17th is the date reported that he died.
Present day Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations have been greatly influenced by those that developed among the Irish diaspora, especially in North America. Until the late 20th century, Saint Patrick’s Day was often a bigger celebration among the diaspora than it was in Ireland.
In fact, most of Ireland doesn’t pay much attention to Saint Patrick’s day. In the United States? It’s a big deal. Everyone wears green and for a day, everyone is Irish, much to the annoyance pf actual citizens of Ireland. Still, it is a day to eat, drink and tell the damsels to “Kiss me, I’m Irish.” Sometimes, you get lucky and not a right cross.
