St. Patrick's Day
Heyy
everyone!
Welcome to
my new blog entry.
In our last
English lesson we talked about St. Patrick's Day. Today I'd like to give you
some Information.
Every year
in March 17th, people of English speaking countries celebrate the St.
Patrick's Day.
It is
celebrate to remember on Saint Patrick. Saint Patrick’s Day is also called
Paddi’s day, it’s the national day for Ireland and is a cultural and religious
celebration. Saint Patrick was a bishop in Ireland. At the age of 16, he was kidnapped
by raiders. When he came back, he made the decision to become a priest.
It is
celebrated all over Ireland and everywhere in the world where Irish People or
their descendants live. The first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in Ireland
in Waterford in 1903. In the beginning, it was a three day long celebration,
but now it is a five day long celebration.
It is also
celebrated in other countries some of them are Great Britain, United States,
Canada, Argentina, Switzerland, Russia, Asia and New York. All of these counties
have different traditions.
New York is
famous for one of the biggest parades all over the world.
The Irish
Festival includes some habits, for example the traditional Irish Music,
drinking Guiness and eating bacon and cabbage. The people wear a green hat and
a green coat every year on this day. Green is the colour for Saint Patrick's Day
as it is the national colour of Ireland. Sometimes they only wear a green
shamrock on their clothes because this Symbol is also for Ireland.
In my mind,
it would be very interesting to celebrate St. Patrick's Day once. I think it is
a great festival and I think it leaves a lasting impression on you.
By for now,
see you!
