This video offers valuable insights into the complex relationship between color, tradition, and national pride. As we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, let's not only enjoy the festivities but also appreciate the rich history behind the colors we associate with this beloved holiday.
My Maternal Grandmother was Irish. Protestant Irish. On St. Patrick's Day my Grandmother would wear as much ORANGE as she coukd possibly find. During the Troubles in certain parts of Northern Ireland, the Protestant North, wearing of Green on St. Patrick's day could be a guaranteed scuffle. The Catholic South would be the same only reversed. Wearing Orange on St. Patrick's day would be a guaranteed scuffle.
It's essential to clarify that there has never been a religious war in Ireland. Rather, the historical context revolves around colonization by a foreign empire and the subsequent resistance of the occupied people. While religion has played a significant role in the cultural and social fabric of Ireland, attributing conflicts solely to religious differences oversimplifies the complex dynamics at play. By understanding the nuances of history, we can appreciate the deeper roots of conflict and work towards fostering understanding and reconciliation.
Actually, this year, March 17 will be the day for the "wearing of the violet," as it is the Fifth Sunday of Lent. Catholic Christianity prohibits any saint's memorial from being celebrated on a Sunday, as that is the Lord's day. On a church calendar, "St. Patrick's Day" this year is noted parenthetically, as it is strictly a secular event. In Ireland and in Nigeria, where St. Patrick is the patron saint, the observance of his memorial will be transferred to Monday, March 18. In every other country, including the United States, it will not be celebrated at all. Some parishes might sing an Irish Lenten hymn Sunday (i.e. "Make Us True Servants"), but nothing more than that. Churches will have violet liturgical decorations, and the priest and the deacon will wear violet vestments. This Catholic of Irish ancestry will wear his violet shirt, but with a dark green sweater on top. (The weather forecast for Sunday is for cool temperatures in Chicagoland.) Happy Fifth Sunday of Lent!
If you chanced to read his book “the confessions of Saint Patrick” written in 400 AD, it’s a great read, he became very Christian, used the 3 ☘️ to teach the Druids about the trinity
When I worked in housekeeping at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, just outside Chicago; St. Patrick's Day was one of three such "amateur nights." The others were New Year's Eve and Independence Day. We dreaded them all for just that reason.
As an Irish American Patrick I just wear a Boondock Saints T-shirt,and when I use to drink I would get my Patrick free drinks..Yes that is a thing Patrick's drink for free on the holiday..and I'll fight ya if you disagree 😂😂
On a school tour we visited Dublin Castle and the tour guide told us the national colours of Ireland are blue and gold. The Presidential Standard is a gold harp on a blue background.

Thank you for this video. Being Irish and living in the oldest city where the tricolour was first flown, Waterford, I do feel blessed indeed.
An Irishman is never drunk!
As long as he can hold onto a Single Blade of Grass to keep from fallin' off the surface of The Earth........

I have no love for the English crown or the royals and yes I wear the green.
British crown starved us to death back in 1845 The Famine.

There are 2 types of people in this world, those who are Irish and those who wish they were Irish ☘️
Yes I do

Amateur night.
When I worked in housekeeping at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, just outside Chicago; St. Patrick's Day was one of three such "amateur nights." The others were New Year's Eve and Independence Day. We dreaded them all for just that reason.
The moral of this story is that if someone wears blue they should be spared as well from being pinched.
Orange for Northern Ireland is for the Protestant Scots-Irish (my family), Green for Catholic Southern Ireland (my ex's family, I'm pretty sure)
I never wear green because it’s st. Patrick’s day. Green is my favorite color so it does seem to happen often.
As an Irish American Patrick I just wear a Boondock Saints T-shirt,and when I use to drink I would get my Patrick free drinks..Yes that is a thing Patrick's drink for free on the holiday..and I'll fight ya if you disagree 😂😂
Did the streets of Boston filled with Irish immigrants

“According to legend, St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Trinity to the Irish…”
