Beautiful congratulations on March 17: St. Patrick's Day ☘️

Saint Patrick is a Christian bishop and missionary, but he is better known as the patron saint of Ireland. There are many legends about this saint - it is believed that he brought Christianity to Ireland and rid the country of snakes. At first, the memory of Saint Patrick was honored in a purely religious context, but later the celebration also turned into a secular event with cultural and commercial significance. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, and on this day everyone can feel Irish - if not by birth, then in spirit. The saint is revered not only in Ireland, but also in many other countries, especially where there is an Irish diaspora.
St. Patrick is often called the most famous Irishman in the world, but in fact he was born in Britain, around 385, in what is now Wales, which was then a Roman colony.

Patrick's family was wealthy, his father served as a local deacon, and his mother was the niece of the bishop of the Gallic city of Tours - Martin of Tours. Despite this, the boy was raised without much religion, and was not overloaded with education.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY IN HISTORY
1601
The first parade in honor of St. Patrick's Day took place not in Ireland, but in the Spanish colony - the city of St. Augustine, in Florida. The holiday was organized by a vicar of Irish origin.
1631
The Catholic Church declared March 17 a holiday - Patrick's Day, the patron saint of Ireland.
1903
St. Patrick's Day became an official public holiday in Ireland, and the first Irish parade was held in Waterford to celebrate the occasion.
1948
US President Harry Truman attended the St. Patrick's Day parade in New York City. This was a kind of recognition for Irish Americans, who often had to deal with bias.
1962
On St. Patrick's Day, the Chicago River was dyed green for the first time, the national color of Ireland. The tradition continues today, but for environmental reasons the amount of dye has been reduced to a minimum, and the river turns green for only a few hours.
1962
The Irish government launched a national program to use St. Patrick's Day to stimulate tourism and popularize Irish culture around the world.

WHY DO WE LOVE THIS DAY?
St. Patrick not only brought Christianity to the Irish, but also helped them achieve independence many centuries later. The image of the saint driving out snakes became a symbol of the Irish struggle against British rule. In 1903, along with the first ceremonial parades in honor of St. Patrick, a patriotic movement in support of their native language and culture began in Ireland.

For Irish immigrants who were discriminated against in other countries, St. Patrick became a symbol of their native land, and the holiday in his honor helped them unite. Using this holiday as an example, we can learn from the Irish patriotism and the desire to preserve their national identity. In addition, St. Patrick's Day opened the culture and traditions of the Irish people to the local population, and a joint cheerful celebration contributed to friendship and mutual understanding.

For all other non-Irish people, this optimistic and slightly fairytale-like holiday is enjoyed because it is an opportunity to learn more about Ireland, socialise in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoy Irish beer and have fun at themed parties.
