St Patricks Day

St Patricks Day is a celebration of Irish heritage and culture that takes place on March 17, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick. It is widely celebrated in Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Scotland as a religious feast and national holiday. In these countries it is also called St. Patrick’s Day or St. Paddy’s Day (a corruption of “St. Padric”), and has been a public holiday for over two hundred years.

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in many ways around the world, but there are some common themes among celebrations: drinking green beer, eating corned beef and cabbage, wearing green clothing (usually a shamrock), and decorating with leprechauns or other Irish symbols.

How do you say Happy St Patrick’s Day in Irish?

If you want to wish a friend or colleague a happy St Patrick’s Day in Irish today, the most common greeting would be “Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit!”

This phrase translates as “happy St Patrick’s Day to you,” and for the uninitiated is correctly pronounced: “Law leh Paw-drig-suna ghit”.

Alternatively, you can opt for the less common, and more religious greeting of “Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig dhuit”.

This means “St Patrick’s Day blessings to you,” and is pronounced: “Ban-ukh-tee nah Fay-leh Paw-drig ghit”.

What is the difference between Leprechaun Day and St Patrick’s?

Leprechaun Day is a dedicated to the little elves of Ireland. Saint Patrick’s day is a huge day in March that celebrates Irish pride and everything about Ireland.

There is no direct connection between Saint Patrick’s and leprechaun apart from that they are both symbols of Ireland. Most people associate Saint Patrick’s Day with good deeds, drinking beer, making new friends, and participating in parades and festivals.

St Patrick’s Day Shamrock

What does the St Patrick’s Day Shamrock mean?

The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland, from the crest on the rugby shirt to the flags of Montreal, Montserrat and the Boston Celtics.

That’s because of St Patrick, who reportedly used it to illustrate the nature of the Holy Trinity to a local (pagan) king as he Christianised Ireland in the fifth century.

The shamrock’s three leaves – not four, like the clover – therefore represent the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in one.

Its name is derived from the Irish “seamróg”, which means simply “young clover”

What’s the Difference between a Shamrock and a Clover?

You can easily spot the difference between the two because shamrocks have three leaves (or leaflets, technically) while four-leaf clovers have, obviously, four leaflets. It takes a rare genetic mutation to get that extra leaf which is why it’s so difficult to find a four-leaf clover.

St Patrick’s Day Signs

What five main symbols are associated with St. Patrick’s day?

The Shamrock

It is said that St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the difficult concept of the Holy Trinity (The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost). Today, the shamrock is an established symbol of good luck.

The Leprechaun

According to Time, “a leprechaun is a diminutive fairy, a supernatural creature about whom tales were passed down within the rich history of Irish oral storytelling.”

Snakes

It is also a legend that St. Patrick banished snakes from Ireland. In an article for National Geographic, Phillip Freeman of Luther College suggests that “when Patrick drives the snakes out of Ireland, it is symbolically saying he drove the old, evil, pagan ways out of Ireland [and] brought in a new age.”

The Color Green

Wearing Green on St. Patrick’s Day most likely comes from the color most associated with “the Emerald Isle, the green in the Irish flag and the clover,” says a Huffington Post article.

Drinking Green Beer

The drinking of green beer, says Michelle Daily in Examiner.com, “most likely stemmed from the tradition of “drowning the shamrock”, in which men would go to their local pub and drop a shamrock into their whiskey and beer and drink it down including the shamrock for luck”
