After dinner at noon on October 11, March 17, the street was very busy and the sky was still raining. The street was holding a parade. I don't know what holiday it was. No matter what it was, take some photos first. It is very interesting, enthusiastic, and has a strong holiday color.
The streets and lanes are crowded with people. The streets in the central region of the city are crowded with green clothes and green ornaments. Even many bars sell Green-colored green beer on the day. Therefore, you must go to the bar to drink beer and taste the interesting green beer. In the excitement of the day, you can feel the happy atmosphere of the day. But do you know the story behind this festival?
March 17 to commemorate the protection of the holy Patrick by Ireland. This holiday originated in Ireland at the end of the 5th century and began to be celebrated in the United States in March 17, 1737.
In 432 AD, St. Patrick was sent to Ireland by the Pope to persuade the Irish to convert to Christianity. After he landed from Wicklow, angry pagans attempted to kill him with stones. However, St. Patrick was not afraid of being in danger. He immediately picked a treasure tree and vividly clarified the trinity of the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit. His eloquent speech touched the Irish and accepted the grand baptism of St. Patrick. In October March 17, 493 AD, St. Patrick's Day was set to St. Patrick's Day in honor of his death.
In October 1737, some Irish gentlemen and businessmen gathered in Boston, Massachusetts, to commemorate St. Patrick and set up an Irish charity. In February 1780 and 1784, philadia and New York successively set up groups such as the son of St. Patrick's friendship, which is celebrated every year in the United States.
The iron clover is the white grass, representing the spirit of patriotism continued by st. Patrick. Later, the Irish people moved to different places to spread the tradition. Clover became the symbol of st. Patrick's day.
