Originally of British lineage, Saint Patrick was captured at age sixteen and sold as a slave in Ireland.  He turned to Christianity during his six years of captivity.  He escaped, and later returned to Ireland as a Christian Missionary. Legend has it the Saint Patrick wore a green shamrock to teach the Holy Trinity to the non-Christian Irish people and thus the tradition of wearing green was born.  

Saint Patrick’s Day has long since been observed in Ireland as a religious holiday. Dublin, Ireland recently began celebrating a St. Patrick’s Day Festival which lasts five days and includes traditional Irish theatre, music, dance, and fireworks and concludes on their national holiday, March 17th, with a spectacular St. Patrick’s Day Parade.  Today, hundreds of St. Patrick’s Day Parades are held in honor of Saint Patrick throughout the world in cities such as London, Quebec, Sydney, and Tokyo.

New York City is home to the first official Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in the world, when in 1762, a group of Irish Soldiers marched to celebrate their Irish roots.   New York City also boasts the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade which has over 150,000 participants, and covers over one and a half miles.  Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia (the second oldest St. Patrick’s Day Parade) and Savannah also host large St. Patrick’s Day Parades, each attracting between 10,000 and 20,000 participants. In a brilliant show of Irish pride, the Chicago Journeyman plumbers have been dying the Chicago River green during their St. Patrick’s Day Parade for over forty years.

St. Patrick’s Day Parades all over the world allow those of Irish ancestry to celebrate their family roots by participating in time-honored Irish traditions.   Whether a direct descendent from a clan in County Cork, or one who has traced his genealogy to County Mayo, or just one who enjoys the Irish jig, all are welcome to celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.  After all, every one is at least a wee bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.
