Where does St. Patrick's Day come from?
Thanks for asking...
If you're a fan of sitcoms, no doubt you've seen episodes in which the characters were celebrating St. Patrick's Day.
It's a huge deal in the UK and Ireland of course, as well as across the pond in North America.
Each year in the build -up to March the 17th, bars and pubs, especially Irish ones, decked themselves out in green and shamrocks.
But before it became an excuse to sink a few pints of Guinness with friends, the occasion was originally a religious affair in its native island, centred around the man himself, St Patrick.
Who exactly was St Patrick?
He was born with the name Melwyn Sacatt in late 4th century AD around the year 380.
It's believed he was most likely born in Scotland, but was then kidnapped by pirates at the age of 16 and sold into slavery in Ireland.
He escaped and went on to study theology in Europe, becoming a priest.
Pope Celestine I then tasked him with spreading Christianity in Ireland.
Returning to the Emeron Dial around the year 432, In 1972, he successfully converted a significant number of Irish pagan kings, and by consequence their families and kingdoms.
It's said that St. Patrick used the clover as a symbol to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, which led to its iconic status in Irish culture.
Legend also has it that he banished snakes from Ireland.
Although in reality there were never actually wild snakes there.
More likely this myth was a metaphor for dispelling Druids and Pagan beliefs.
After many years of evangelizing, establishing bishoprics and monasteries, he retired to Down Patrick in Northern Ireland, where he passed away on 17 March 461, hence the date of St Patrick's Day.
Over a millennium later, in the 17th century, the Catholic Church officially recognised St Patrick's Day as a religious feast, incorporating it into the Christian calendar.
It became a national holiday in Ireland at the start of the 20th century.
A law was actually passed to shut down pubs on St Patrick's Day, which is pretty ironic given how the day has now become synonymous with indulging in alcohol.
Following Ireland's independence in 1921 after 700 years of British rule, St Patrick's Day became a symbol of national identity.
The first St Patrick's Day parade on Irish soil took place in 1931, marking a shift towards a more cultural celebration.
By the 1990s the government was even leveraging the holiday to promote Irish culture.
Despite multi -day celebrations taking place in Dublin each year, the largest festivities aren't actually held in Ireland at all.
Oh really? Where are they held then?
In New York where there's a substantial Irish -descended community, the city's Fifth Avenue plays host to a colossal parade drawing hundreds of thousands of people.
The event features floats, Gaelic folk music, dances and of course people dressed up as leprechauns.
There's also fireworks, a spread of traditional Irish food and plenty of beer, especially early Guinness and not too far away the Chicago River has even died green every year for several days around the time of St. Patrick's.
