So, who was St Patrick? And what's the big deal?

Ah, St. Patrick's Day! That wonderful time of year when the world comes alive with the Irish spirit, and our rich heritage is celebrated far and wide. Sure, we have to endure plastic cups and Guinness that is questionnably poured, but that's because everybody is invited to the party. Everyone is Irish that day. But what makes March 17th so special? Who was St Patrick, and more importantly, what do we do to celebrate?

St. Patrick, our beloved patron saint, wasn't originally from Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, he was taken to our shores as a young lad of sixteen, enduring years of hardship as a shepherd. During those solitary times, his faith grew strong, and after escaping, he felt a profound calling to return to Ireland. With unwavering determination, he came back to spread Christianity among our ancestors. It's said he used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity, intertwining this simple plant with our cultural identity. Yes, we love to tell a few tales, and our personal favorite story is that St Paddy himself banished snakes from Ireland. For Texas, it is not.

While the Irish spread across the world the past few centuries, they carried with Irish spirit to every corner of the globe. Today, their legacy lives on as cities worldwide celebrate St. Patrick's Day with parades, music, and oftentimes, a proper sesh.

In New York City, the annual parade on Fifth Avenue is spectacular, rivalling only Dublin in it's sheer size. Chicago takes a unique approach by dyeing the Chicago River green, a tradition that has been cherished for decades. Surprisingly, Buenos Aires in Argentina hosts vibrant street parties, reflecting the global reach of our culture. Tokyo blends Irish charm with Japanese flair in its parades, showcasing a beautiful fusion of traditions. Down under in Sydney, the city comes alive with grand parades and family-friendly events, painting the town green in honor of St. Patrick.

Back home in Ireland, there's no place like it on St. Patrick's Day. Dublin's St. Patrick's Festival spans several days, featuring parades, concerts, and cultural showcases that fill the streets with energy and excitement. Across the country, towns and villages host their own parades, each adding a unique touch to the celebrations. From traditional music sessions in cozy pubs to lively street performances, the spirit of St. Patrick is ever-present.

So, wherever you find yourself this March 17th, remember that St. Patrick's Day is a time to honor our shared heritage, reflect on our history, and, most importantly, enjoy the company of good friends and family. Sláinte!

PSA It's Paddy's Day not Patty's Day. As every true Irish person will tell you (often quite loudly), Paddy is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of Patrick, which is Pádraig. Patty, in Ireland, refers to Patricia. So this St Paddy's Day make sure to get it right. 😉
