Happy St. Patrick's Day my friends! Today is about celebrating your Irish nationality and heritage, and perhaps your drinking abilities?! But, it was really created in honor to celebrate Saint Patrick of Ireland. It is a well known holiday on the holy calendar of the Catholic Church, and celebrated world wide.
The media also celebrates St. Patrick's day with us, and documents all the festivities going on during the celebration.
Last night on National Geographic, they aired 'Bullets over Boston', in celebration of St. Patrick's Day..hmm interesting isn't it? I suppose they linked the Irish to Boston and Whitey Bulger which in turn is an appropriate St. Patrick's Day documentary!
Today, on the radio station Jam'n 94.5- the radio hosts spoke in an Irish accent, which in turn ended up being humorous because his name is 'Ramero the freakin' Puerto Rican'.
It is interesting to see how different cultures celebrate this holiday! I know here we have a lot of things that say 'Erin Go Bragh' - This use to make me very upset when I was a little girl, since my name is Erin..I thought they were telling me I needed to wear a bra! And as a young girl, you can imagine.. this was devastating.
And, in other countries they wear the colors blue and orange, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Kind of strange huh?

There's also the St. Patrick's Day breakfast that's aired I think before the Southie parade. My parents watch it like every year.
ReplyDeleteLMAO about the bra thing.
I don't get the blue thing, but orange still makes sense, since it's one of the colors of the flag.
