SAINT PATRICK’s Day ORIGIN & HISTORY

SAINT PATRICK’s Day is celebrated on the 17th Day in March and with it the luck of the Irish & all things green. Originally set aside to honor St. Patrick as the patron saint of Ireland, it has developed a time-honored global festivity of Irish culture.

In 1631 the Roman Catholic Church determined March 17 as a feast day honoring Saint Patrick usually falling on Lent where alcohol was forbidden by the Church. But on Saint Patrick’s feast day, booze was permitted until lawmakers made all pubs close during the holiday until it popularly was rescinded during the 1970s. In the 1990s, Irish tourism started to take off when the governances started a national campaign to woo Americans over to celebrate Irish heritage through our beloved SAINT PATRICK’s Day and pump some much-needed cash into their economy.

The tradition of the SAINT PATRICK’s Day parade first started on March 17, 1601, in the region known as Saint Augustine, Florida USA. It was set up by the Spanish colony’s governor. In 1737 soldiers from Ireland who were serving in the British military at the time marched in Boston and NYC with fifes and drums.

Early evidence suggests the man wore BLUE and not green. But hey, who could argue with the Irish flag, rolling lush green hills, and the shamrocks. In 1798, supporters of the Irish revolution used green to symbolize their fight for independence.

They first started out as politically symbolic and over time gained strength in popularity. Ultimately large parades spread to Boston, Chicago, and Savannah. But during the COVID-19 virus pandemic in 2020 and 2021, parades around the country were canceled for the first time ever in its 258-year history.

Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

March 17 is also an important day in the history of the American Revolution.

For many in Massachusetts, March 17 evokes more than just St. Patrick’s Day. It is Evacuation Day, a holiday that commemorates a pivotal moment in early American history, when British forces withdrew from Boston at the end of the Siege of Boston in 1776, marking George Washington’s first major strategic victory in the Revolutionary War. ...
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview
