How To Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 2010
Before this St. Patrick’s Day 2010, you should learn a little about Ireland’s history so you can really wow your friends. While the story of St. Patrick is often up for debate, scholars can agree that he was sold into slavery as a teenager, where he became a sheep farmer. Upon his escape to France, he experienced an inspirational vision, became a priest and later became the second Bishop to Ireland. He is noted for establishing schools, churches and monasteries around the country. In his preaching, he often used three-leafed shamrocks as a metaphor of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Trinity, which is why it is so much a symbol of Ireland today. Once you’ve brushed up on your Irish history, here are some other ways to celebrate.
It just wouldn’t be St. Patrick’s Day 2010 without a parade! The nation’s most celebrated parades happen in Boston, Holyoke, Chicago, New York City and Scranton. Syracuse, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Buffalo and St. Louis also offer noteworthy street festivals and parading. Many parade routes will literally paint the streets green as throngs of floats, Irish dancers, musicians, social clubs, politicians and civil service members march. Some travelers even head to the motherland for five days of Dublin festivals. If your city isn’t blessed with its own parade, then never fear as the Chicago St. Patty’s Day parade is always broadcast on WGN, and the New York St. Patrick’s Day parade is broadcast on NBC.
St. Patrick’s Day 2010 is a wild celebration in America. “Traditionally in Ireland, the feast of St. Patrick is a celebration of the Christianization of Ireland,” explains Irish native Ninian Mellamphy, a professor of English in Canada. He adds that this feasting day was always “a quiet celebration of our culture,” with “no sense of the carnival.” The parties truly began in America, where homesick immigrants sought to hang onto anything that reminded them of home. Experts say the Blarney Stone, corned beef and cabbage, and green beer are all cheap “Americanized” ways of celebrating. However, others say that there’s no problem with these traditions because the Irish have fully assimilated into American culture, without losing touch with their origins.
