St Patrick's Day Traditions and History

- It's nearly St Patrick's Day so I thought I'd do a video of Traditions and the History Behind it.
I absolutely love Irish History and there is so much behind all of our St Patrick's Day traditions and symbols - like why we wear green, why are shamrocks a symbol etc. I also included how we in Ireland tend to celebrate Paddy's Day nowadays.
Let me know your favourite St Patrick's Day traditions and if you do anything differently to what I mentioned :)

Thank you so much for explaining this special holiday so perfectly! My husband, who’s American, asked why St. Patrick’s day is so important to me. This video is a perfect explanation 🙂
Thank you! I really love researching Irish history and I love St Patrick's day even more now 💗😀
Pro tip : you can watch movies on kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Leonel Houston Yup, have been watching on kaldrostream for since december myself =)
@Leonel Houston Definitely, I have been using kaldrostream for since december myself :D

Saint Patrick went back to Ireland and told the Irish to Convert or die
That why the Catholics are the only ones who really celebrate the day in a good way the real Irish the ones who their ancestors did not cower down and convert they glad he died and celebrate his death or just dong celebrate at all
Catholics have forced their ways on way too many and they need to be seen for what they really are
Evil my way or die soldiers of the pope not God
Love this girl taking about Ireland. People can learn a lot about the country and traditions. Thank you.
I love how you explain St. Patrick's Day since many of us in America just make corned beef and cabbage and drink lol
Marissa Jonasson FYI, corned beef and cabbage is an American invention! The story goes that a few centuries ago, Irish beef was exported while Irish people mostly ate more affordable pork and made bacon and cabbage. When Irish people began emigrating to the US in large numbers, they found they could not afford pork. In New York, Irish-American housewives learnt from their Jewish neighbours how to buy and prepare brisket and corned beef. Hence, they came up with corned beef and cabbage!
Gerarda Cronin I know and I find it comical but yet we do it lol
@@gerardacronin3095 I mean, if u are saying cause it was started in America, by the Irish. Then yes, technically I guess it would be "American" but cause it was started by "Irish immigrants" that makes it IRISH also. I understand that it is difficult for ignorant people like u to understand this concept. But it's still true... Just like an Irish immigrant opening up an Irish pub in America. It's still an Irish pub, just established in America
you eat on st pats?
Of course! Corn Beef, cabbage, potatoes, soda bread.@@timregan1005
I never knew the details of St Patrick. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much :) It was so interesting. I didn't know the connection between shamrock and Holy Trinity. I love when other countries highlight main buildings or bridges in green on St. Patrick's Day.
Thanks Mina! I know, it's great to see other countries joining in the Irish celebration! ☘😀
St. Patrick’s day is such an amazing holiday! Thank you for explaining the history behind it
I could listen to you for hours, weeks, no I mean years. Cool story
Thank you so much for this! As an Irish-American, there are many parts of my Irish heritage that were lost when my grandparents died. I have so many questions I wish I'd asked... I just love watching your videos!
I have one possible idea for a future video, but it might be a bit...contentious. When I was in college, I had the pleasure of spending one summer working at a camp alongside a group from Belfast. They were wonderful to work with! But I learned from questions others asked that most Americans haven't a clue about why there is a "Northern Ireland." It's not often covered in our history lessons, I guess. Plus, I think many Americans sort of wrote off the tension in Northern Ireland after the St. Andrews Agreement, assuming everything has been "fixed" and now it's all "peace, love and harmony."
I completely understand if you'd rather not delve into politics. But for us Yanks, even a small history lesson about the basic question, "Why is there an 'Ireland' and also a 'Northern Ireland'?" might be good. I spent most of my career working in the travel industry - and I'd be a rich woman if I had a dime fore every time I've been asked this. (Feel free to say "no" to any or all of this!)
Thank you!
Yeah, I'm so interested in the history behind Northern Ireland and the Republic, and I'm definitely going to do a video on the division. It's mad, I learnt all about it in school but there are so many elements that weren't taught to us and that I'm just discovering now. I want to do it justice so need to do a bit more research but it will come soon! :) Thanks! 💗
@@WolfeMomma , yes, history is seldom a simple thing. There are so many things in my country's history that were never taught in school. I think we, as people, can just be a messy lot sometimes - and that's the reality of it.
@@pamelaputerbaugh3161 i can answer for you if you have any questions.
It’s interesting! I watched a video asking Brits if they liked the Irish and they all said Yes! Another video asked Irish ppl which country they disliked/hated and they said England. I definitely would like to know more history since I’m part English/Irish.
“Thought it was part of the ceremony!!” LOL, love it.
Please do “what tourists need to know”
From Australia it's Alll over the world just Grand . A happy day for many .
""Happy you told the story of Catholic Religous Patrick ""
I am Irish but was moved to Manchester when I was 6 years old.
I remember one year in Ireland Heinz made all the ketchup green for St. Patrick’s day☘️💚
I learn more from you about history than I ever did in school!!!!
Excellent video! I have only recently discovered you and find you delightfully enchanting. IMy family is from reland. I have been there 13 times. I even took my wife there a few years ago on a fly and drive B&B trip for 0 days. Needless to say she had a wonderful time. Thanks for helping me recall my fond memories.
Love this! There is such a love of the Irish in America but there are so many things I do not know. You have a beautiful speaking voice and would love any stories or history you know
We love St Patrick's Day down here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Mass, parades and celebration (and the day off school when I was young, spending much of the day at our local Irish society). Really impressed with the content of your videos. :-)
Thank you! I love hearing how St Patrick's Day is celebrated all over the world. My friend moved to New Zealand a few years ago, glad to hear she'll be able to partake in some celebrations that day :)
I'm originally from NYC and for many years since my early youth we've been so proud of the official and grand turnout of all the spit and polish NYPD on horseback, dazzling marching bands from neighboring cities, artisticly fashioned mobile floats in tow and of course, an ocean of green regalia everywhere to be seen in the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade along fifth Avenue, that is, until one terrible day when the satanic policy of political correctness reared its cursed ugly head, and this grand and beloved show was lost forever; and forevermore tainted with the stench of hell's sullen and sulphurous perfume!
Thanks for sharing and happy St Patrick's Day 2023! 🇮🇪❤️
This is a lovely video and I really appreciate how you compare with the Irish American differences with kindness. Seems like the way we as Americans identify with our family’s country of origin can be hard for people of other nationalities to grasp and it’s refreshing to see somebody cover those differences positively.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day Sweetie
From Kentucky, USA
Keep Up The Good Work 😎☘️💚👊
I would love to learn more about "The Irish Goodbye", and how Friendships form/what makes good friendships and relationships for those in Ireland. How does it differ from what you have noticed in America? What types of customs are "good gestures" there vs here that you have learned? Thank you so much for everything you do! Love listening to you🥰
Wolfe Momma Thank you for this 🍀 it's been so hard to find something that isn't narrated by Americans, I have nothing against Americans just wish there were more Irish narrating Irish traditions. 🍀
Really great to know and get some useful knowledge about Saint Patrick's Day, was curious to know about this Day.☘️👍💚👍👍👍
Happy St.Patrick Day from America 3-17-21.
Loved hearing the background for the holiday and the traditions. New subscriber here. Can’t wait to see more content from you! 💗
Thank you! 💗
Great overview - many thanks! Learned a lot and you have a super presentation style that is easy to follow and listen to, keep the videos coming. Glad you've made it to Texas, my home. Howdy!
Yes thanks a lot I enjoy videos about Ireland. So if you have some time and fancy putting up more, I would love to watch them! They are great fun!
I want to go to Ireland for the week around St. Paddy's Day! My 5th great grandfather came from Norrhern Irelend to New York in 1700s...he was part of that parade because he was a soldier and every son since but my father didn't. My brother is tho ❤
Thank You very much for this many Informations 🤗🤗🤗🍀🍀🍀👍🤗⚘
This video came up as recommended today, on March 17, 2021. I'm glad I watched it.
Thank you for this video. My wife & I just watched it. It was definitely worth the wait. We loved the story of King Angus and St. Patrick's staff. I also had never knew about the colors for the flag. I like the tradition of it being a family day, as opposed to being a drink till you throw up day.
Thank you for the suggestion of this video! 💗
Thank you kind stranger
He is a blessing to Ireland and Ireland so so blessed because of it! 😀
good! I love irish. Ireland is very good!
Your accent is so nice. 💗
Interesting history of St. Patrick’s Day. Thanks.
Fantastic video! Using this information to help teach my students about St Patrick's Day. Thanks!
Thank you for telling us all this information
Loved this video!!!!
Thank you! 💗
Thank you for sharing! It was interesting to hear how you guys celebrate it in Ireland, and how the tradition has evolved. I come from a proud Irish-American family and growing up we would celebrate it every year by wearing green and having a big family meal of "traditional" Irish-American corned-beef and cabbage. ;D
I'm in Japan now, and every year in Tokyo there is usually a big St. Paddy's Day parade and Irish festival over the weekend to celebrate, but unfortunately because of the corona virus this year the festivities have been canceled...
I love hearing how it's celebrated all over the world! It sounds like St Patrick's Day festivities are being cancelled / scaled back everywhere. It's a pity, but a good excuse for an extra big celebration next year :)
Girl, you should swing over to San Antonio sometime. We celebrate with performances and a river parade all weekend. We dye our river green. Its soooooo much fun!!!
Sounds great! I absolutely love Texas but I've never been to San Antonio. I'd love to visit there one day. My future brother-in-law is from Texas :)
Very educational. Thank you! Keep the videos coming, please.
Everyone looks good in green.
I know I'm 3 years late but it's a reminder that history holds up through time... thank you for this informative video
This was a great video! Thank you.
What a great explanation. My brother and sister in law and my second son and family also live in Ireland now. 🇮🇪 I will share this with them. Thankyou
Loved this!
Thank you! 💗
Very interesting, thank you.
I have wanted to attend a St. Patrick’s Day celebration here in my country Greece but forgot until it was past the date. I will keep a note for 17 of March, a few days before to google where to go and what is required of me before I go.
Some people say that there is too much drinking that can lead to trouble. There are a number of Irish pubs here in Athens run by Irish people. I have been for a drink and loved it.
I very much like the Irish people and Irish customs and traditions. I hope I meet Irish people here in Athens just to have a drink together.
This was wonderful. I’m going to post this on St Paddy's Day. Outside of Ireland, this day is abused as a day of excessive drinking,
Erin go Bragh!
Back at yeah 3-17-21 Happy St. Patrick day. From America.
WOLFIE MOMMA THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF MY LATE NAN GREAT UNCLES AND GREAT AUNTIES WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THIS WHEN I WAS A CHILD, GOD LOVE YOU AND YOURS!🙏
You're such a great teacher !!!
Really cool, I never really knew the history behind it! Thanks for explaining! ❤☘
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. This is why everyone is a little Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day. It’s a great celebration that everyone can enjoy.
@@cathleenhardy8482 No were Irish by birth.Well at least I am!!! The point I’m making is everyone can celebrate this wonderful day. I’m not offended by non Irish celebrating this day as cliche as one might think this is. If I was picking a Italian holiday as a example I would’ve went for Columbus Day. Just saying. I guess in your Cliche thinking those who celebrate thanksgiving think their turkeys. So don’t know the real point your trying to make.
Cathleen, if they actually tried to display true Irish cultural traits instead of making a drunken mockery out of the day, that saying wouldn't be quite so offensive. It's still offensive, mind you -- it just wouldn't be as obnoxious.
Thank you
Can you do a video on Irish goddesses?I love watching your videos.
Great idea! I'll definitely do that soon, thank you! 💗
SAINT PATRICK who was FIGHTING PAGANS wouldn't like your idea.
Great job on your UA-cam channel 👍
We came over for my cousins wedding, and landed at Shannon Airport on St. Patrick's Day. We drove from Shannon to Kilarney and the roads were empty. 🚗 💚 🇮🇪
Good explanation, thank you!
I’m so excited! I leave to visit Ireland in a few days and I will actually be there for St. Patrick’s Day.
This is a guess for sure about the kilts being used for celebrating St. Paddy's day when you came to Austin. There are a lot of Scotch-Irish decendants in Texas and Oklahoma. That might be where the blend came from. My mother's family came to America first so they are Scotch-Irish. My father's family are from Galway.
So interesting! I am trying to learn everything I can about Ireland and Irish tradition, because I just found out through our DNA, that my mom is 94% Irish, and I am 47% Irish!! I have been alive for 40 years, and we never knew! Big family secret that died with my grandmother… my moms Dad is not her biological father 😳 We have no idea who is… but I have always felt a pull towards Ireland! My ancestors are from County Cork… and my husband just had his DNA info come back, and he is 17% Irish, ALSO from County Cork!!! Crazy! ☘️ Needless to say, we are going to start celebrating St. Paddy’s day every year!
Good on you all, connect with your roots, I love it. Not enough people do that.
cuban american here
basque celtiberian w irish peppering the catholics we keep track. even know of a great great grandma escaping to north spain during the english madness: maría kilcleigh from west meath : )
many irish escaped to cuba in the 1800s valuable inmigration
dr carlos j finlay discovered the vector of malaria a mosquito he and his medical group gave up their lives to prove it the americans had moved in and mocked all things créole later took credit after dr finlay had died.
Loved this!!😍
Thank you! 💗
thank you
excellent much appreciated. I lived in Belfast for several years, with a criss community attitude but so much I didnt know that you explained here.
Including the modern irish tricolour.
Wow! 😲👍
That Was An Awesome Education, In All Things St. Patrick! ☘
Thank You! 😉👍
I'm An Irish-American 🇮🇪 🇺🇸 Who Desires To Know All He Can About Ireland... Hope And Pray Too Visit One Day Very Soon! 🤗
Blessings James 🌈
Happy St Patrick's Day 2023 🤗🎵🎶🍀🌱⭐🎶🎵😎🎶🎵⚘
Thank you! I've always wondered about Saint Patrick's day. I thought it had something to do leprechauns. But now I actually have respect for the holiday, and for the man. Thank you... very much.
Thank you. I really like your videos.😎
Wow this is amazing and mind blowing. I learnd so much. I never knew it was religious holiday
My grandma told me that the wearing of green goes back to a folk tale about the tuatha dannon, that they shined like a rainbow and the norns forced them to wear green to blend in with the landscape
@@bambooprincess3495 that too
Happy St. Patrick's Day ☘
Thank you!
Very well done! And you are a beautiful Irish woman btw. 🍻🍀
Love this didn’t really know the history thank you for making this video ☺️
I love this video, thank you for posting. I cannot understand the Patty thing, who would make that mistake.
My grandmother, an O’Donnell from Donegal in 1882 raised me since I had no parents. We always went to mass every St. Paddy’s Day. We wore some green. Her neice would always send shamrocks from home to us in California. My gran always had me wear this badger paw with a shamrock on it. She spoke Gaelic primarily. Her family’s land had never been taken, but many of her brothers were deceased for fighting the Brits over it. Our family would gather for a meal later. It was not a rollicking day.There was a sense of sadness for my gran being cut off due to some accidental hardships that she didn’t make it back home. Her brogue was thick & I had to interpret her form of English.
Love this☘️
Great video !!!
Love from India I will be there in Jan 2024❤❤❤
When I was just a little child, the house I lived in had carbon monoxide poisoning due to the water heater vent being broken and venting it into the lower level of the house instead of into the air.
Of course dumb old me's favorite place to hang out was the room with the strongest concentration (~70%) because it had a true waterbed. While I was on this waterbed, a middle aged woman clad in white would go sit in the corner and read to me tales of the Celtic gods and the Nordic gods.
Turns out that she was a hallucination caused by the carbon monoxide poisoning. But here's the rub. This was my first exposure to Celtic or Nordic mythology, and much of what she was saying was accurate to the mythology I read. From my understanding, she fit the description of the Goddess Brigid.
Young children are quite often able to have such spirit visitations. That ability often goes away as they grow older and are exposed to more "logic".
Very informative! Thank you! Do y’all have any certain dishes you have on St. Patrick’s day?
I went to a village in Wales last week that is famous for its multi-coloured houses, you can see them in Bristol (in SW England) as well, but did you know this tradition is actually Irish? When their queen Victoria passed away, it was decreed that people in Ireland (this was pre-Easter 1916) painted their houses black as a mark of respect to the late foreign unelected monarch. The Irish as are famous for doing so rebelled, said 'b@lls' and painted their houses blue yellow white green and whatever colour they couldn't find that wasn't black!
You were talking about symbols. Someone gave me a silver pendant which was a Celtic knot. I wore it for a while and then decided to look it up and realised it was the knot of Lugh, who was Cuchulainn's father and I was quite surprised that I had such a lovely knot. Wondered if perhaps you could do a video about the different Celtic knots and what they mean. Love your programme. Best wishes from South Africa.
My Irish great grandfather on my fathers side in the 1680s and left Dublin and I dont have to wonder why. ...My mothers side of the family got away from the midlands of England in the 1600s and there was a huge reason why so many wanted to leave England at that time because working class commoners were put down like dogs there as well by royal links of that lineage if you just happened to be fishing in a stream that was owed by a royal.. .
happy st patricks day.. 2021..
I always do lent I am glad someone came up with the idea we coy have a drink on this day ¬ bearkfast lent😊😊
I went to school on St. Patrick's Day if spring break is dependent on Easter. If I were to live in Ireland, I would've taken that day off of school. When I was younger before moving 2 the Silver State (NV), I didn't go to school on St. Patrick's Day. 'Twas amidst the week of spring break.
Really good videos- had no idea what the Irish flag actually meant despite painting it on my face for many-a-parade lol. Wonderful meaning.
Your shirt matches your eyes. Very nice!
Great video ! I am really enjoying all Your videos .
I am 3 or 4th gen Irish American ( Rhode Island ) family is originally from County Sligo . I was curious as to what You eat on St. Patricks Day .
My Grandmother and Mother always make a boiled dinner , with a Pork shoulder or corned beef .
soda bread and also rye bread ( It has to be Jewish Rye bread , I have a theory about this .. )
In fact boiled dinner is pretty popular during March at least in R.I.
Is this popular in Ireland as well ?
I have a genuine question: because St. Patrick essentially pushed out pagans and paganism, are there celebrations for celtic pagans or pagans in general as an alternative? if you could make a video on this I would freak! I absolutely love your videos!
Your welcome! 🇺🇸
Thank you! I find every video you post, delightfully insightful. My husbands name is Patrick and I’ve called him Paddy since first we met. When others call him pat or Patty, I cringe and correct them.
I can absolutely understand the discord with the English. I feel Ireland lost a lot because Henry the 8th outlawed Catholicism, created his own religion (the Church of England), in order to banish Queen Catherine of Aragon, marry his lover, Anne Boleyn, behead her, and ruined as many lives as possible before his death. The English still worship him and if that’s not idolatry, I don’t know what it means. Sorry if I got some things wrong. This subject makes me really sad. Anyway...thank you so much!
lol I'd also have to correct people for Patty! 😄
Yeah, it's a really sad subject. The more I read about it the more shocking it is.
I'm Irish Bolivian, thanks for the history lesson.
Happy st Patty's day to u 2023
Hi I watched the Premiere
Can you do another Irish slang video?
I loved the other.
💚🇮🇪👍
Thanks! 💗 Yes I'm definitely doing another slang one, I can't believe I missed out so much in the first one 🙈😂
Please talk about the Easter Rising of 1916.
I'm working on it. Reading up on all the history books so I do it justice ☺️💗
@@WolfeMomma plesse don't forget to mention James Connolly and the Irish Citizen Army. Though they were a small contingent that took part in the Easter Rising, if it wasn't for James Connolly and the Irish Citizen Army's insistence on doing a rebellion of their own, the Military Council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood wouldn't have been motivated to carry forward for their plans for the Easter Rising.
The very first parade in America was in response to all the hostile Irish hatred. It was a way to show their Irishness and proud to be Irish and that nothing was going to keep them down.
I'm Irish, but I don't understand why there was so much hatred towards the Irish in America. Any reasons?
@@sylviacarlson3561 cause most of the Irish coming to America were poor, uneducated, didn't speak English, had big families, were thought of as scoundrels and not proper
A lot of it centered on the Irish being Catholic and also the propaganda from Britain that the Irish were drunkards.@@sylviacarlson3561
My name is kayla (not jeremy) hahah using his youtube!! Awesome videos! I would love for one to maybe be about places to visit in ireland and maybe places to stay away from....i dont know if you have a video for that yet.
St. Patrick’s Day parade was held on March 17, 1601 in a Spanish colony under the direction of the colony's Irish vicar, Ricardo Artur. More than a century later, homesick Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched in Boston in 1737 and in NYC on March 1762.
