Personally I don’t care if they celebrate St Patrick’s Day in Ireland or not since the whole point of the thing is remembering where your kin came from with people with a common culture. These celebrations have been going on here since the early 1700s.

The Irish are not the only culture that celebrates festivals like St Patrick’s Day. Cinco de Mayo comes to mind as one.
 
I grew up wearing something green on St Patrick’s day ,my mum encouraged it .Usually something small like a hair ribbon or clothing I already had.I will wear something green these days out of my wardrobe but not too loud.And a little Irish flag pin.
Being Catholic and of Irish decent hasn’t always been easy in some parts of the world,my mother grew up with some ridicule as a child here in Australia in that particular area she lived in.So to have the freedom to express seems to me a joyous occassion 🙂
 
Now here’s a flag of a proper Irish ruler 😬

no, this one

resist imperialism

LOBSTERBACKS get out of IRELAND
 
Of course, We, Irish, believe everybody is Irish on that day. OR wish they were Irish. Plus,
A Holy Irishman goes to mass on St. Patrick’s Day. Not to bars and never drunk( gluttony).

Depends on whether you dream of a restoration of the empire I guess
 
I am glad to hear Ian had some other sides to him. I think many of the historic US politicians and judges who appeared to be sleazy bigots to the general public were likewise complex and had their good points too.
Still, it is extremely hard to watch the old footage of Paisley delivering his rhetoric without wanting to throw bricks.
 
I will wear my green earrings on St Paddy’s Day and maybe the green dress I always wear to Mass on that day. (Depends on the weather.) But one of those novelty tee-shirts, no.
 
My husband is from Ireland. Yes, they make fun of us. He used to go to Mass In Ireland. He did here, also.
A group of Real Irish immigrants, got together here and celebrated their nationality in their Saints day. It grew!

Mic is a British slur that some of us find funny.
Paddys and Biddys are slurs also. Nickname.
It comes from their names. Other ethnic groups have slurs that are worse and offensive .
Dei Lin is God bless. Or Dia Beann in other dialects.
 
HIP HIP
Gluttony is a sin. Drunkardness is a sin. St. Patrick, a Godly, evangelist, rolls over in his grave w the shenanigans going on, on his day.
 
Well, I’m not fluent in Gaelic. My husband is from Mayo. He reports different dialects affect differences. I google translated and it popped up Dia Beann. I chose the apelling w Dei. Probably a Latin lean. His Gaelic got rusty. His sister and he are starting to chat in the Gael. Saying Bye is long and took 3 wks to learn. Slan Augus Bannock Acora Gael.
Did you climb the REEK? I was 24yo. Beautiful.
I visited my MIL 3 times.
Ballyhaunis is his town. It’s across the bog lake from Knock.
I’ll go w google now. Dia Beann

The “fighting irish” at the college I attended made sure we were all “three sheets to the wind” on St. Patrick’s Day.
