Fun Fact St. Patrick’s Day Edition:
St. Patrick’s Day was never really a huge deal in Ireland. It was Irish immigrants in New York, forming the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in order to celebrate Irish pride, that caused the day to become the popular day it has become. So in short, while Saint Patrick may be the symbol of Ireland (though he was not actually Irish…blog post forthcoming very shortly…) St. Patrick’s Day is more a symbol of America and the melting pot America represents in celebrating the heritage of a large group of the people that call it home!
