it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day! As we delve into the history of particular holidays as the year goes along, we learn about the significance of the original event(s), as well as how traditions emerged over time. Over the past few years, I witnessed an ultra-modern interpretation of St. Patrick’s Day, but secretly wondered how many individuals truly knew what they were celebrating.
been associated with St. Patrick that do not have a historical basis. The most prominent of these is that it was St. Patrick who rid of all the snakes in Ireland. However, the island separated from the European continent at the end of an Ice Age, so it is unlikely that snakes ever resided in Ireland. In addition to this legend, believe it or not, blue was the color first associated with St. Patrick rather than green!4 Comments

My mother is Irish. They are a bit of cult, which is by way of saying, they are unto themselves. They celebrate everything; especially everything Irish. They just like to celebrate. They always love a party, theme or no theme, they gather. And they love St Patrick, because every cult needs a leader. Especially a Saint. Most of them are Catholic. And Catholics have lots of Saints. Your history lesson was fascinating. We did have a nun out here, Sister Elizabeth, who really was a Saint. She was from Ireland and whatever she prayed for happened. She was incredible. She could do miracles. But I am not sure that was because she was Irish Catholic, so much as because she was close to God. She just happened to be Irish Catholic. She went into the church at 19 years old. May your day be blessed, Susie

I found your history lesson very interesting and I have learned from it . My bloodline stems from five different nationality's hence forth Irish is one of the more prominent bloodlines in my family . I am perplexed and fascinated by the original Blue traditional color being turned Green ....I can not believe in my now 40's I am hearing about this . My family took major strides to decorate the house , get dressed up , and celebrate just about everything from when I was a child until my mother passed away . Now that we are all grown up we all celebrate in different ways now . But every St. Patrick's Day I still wear my shamrock's .
