    Saint Patrick's Day

    March 17, 1929

    Today is Ireland’s most important holiday of the year, Saint Patrick’s Day. Everyone in Ireland and the Irish in Diaspora is celebrating to honor the most beloved saint for all Irish, Saint Patrick. St. Patrick was a 5th-century missionary to Ireland who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. By the end of the 7th century, he became a legendary figure and is considered a patron saint of Ireland. People everywhere are dressing up for the day by wearing green clothing with a small collection of Shamrock on top of the shirt where badges usually are worn. In every city, town, and village, people celebrate by holding a céilí (public gathering) where they play traditional Irish music, dance, drink whiskey, beer, or cider, eat special foods, and then hold a public parade.

    In the capital city of Dublin, people gathered together to watch the parade and see marching bands, the military, fire brigades, cultural organizations, charitable organizations, voluntary associations, youth groups, fraternities, and finally, a royal procession with High King Patrick and his family who are also wearing green clothes with shamrocks on their chest. At the end of the parade, everyone, including the royal family and government officials, preceded to go to St Mary's Pro-Cathedral to attend mass for the feast of Saint Patrick. When the service is over, everyone goes home and celebrates their friends and family. At the end of the day, the people go outside and watch fireworks being shot up in the sky for an hour.

    With that, Saint Patrick’s Day ended, and people will have to wait to celebrate their beloved saint again next year.
