Don’t blame it to St. Patrick for your booze, the pubs and brews are the Irish thing not at all significant with the Saint himself. St. Patrick is no Irish, he’s actually a Briton who was captured by Irish raiders who treated him as slave long before he was proclaimed as Saint. Cruelty was severe thus determined to escape from that malevolent plight… so he did. Patrick eventually acquired Christianity and had a calling to go back to Ireland to promulgate the belief which successfully he did. Ireland as being a Catholic country is largely contributed by Patrick himself. With the strong force of conversion, he is known to have driven out the “snakes’ out of Ireland which is figuratively referring to the pagans or such. In case you’re wondering why green is very much or shall I say the sole color of St. Patrick’s, it’s merely because of the Shamrock, the three-leaf clover that he used while preaching as the symbolism of the Holy Trinity. It got stuck with Irish and somehow became the simile of St. Patrick himself. I honestly have to say what a good color choice! since green is the top of my fave colors. As for the leprechauns, I don’t have a single idea why would tag this with the celebration, maybe because it is prevalent in Ireland? maybe or not.
so another excuse for a cold Guinness? ain’t need a St. Patrick’s Day for that since in Ireland, Guinness day is everyday! Pubs are like mushroom hubs categorically can be considered as Irish’s way of life, part of the definition of their culture. this could be a piece of heaven for many… that I know?
just for the heck of it , let’s wear green!… Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
