St. Patrick's Day in England

St. Patrick

El Saint Patrick's day It is celebrated by the Irish and the Irish at heart in big cities and small towns alike, with parades, music and songs, Irish food, drinks, and activities for children in almost every European country,

England is no exception since the Irish colony is numerous so great fun is expected on March 17, which is the central day of Saint Patrick Day. For now, a festival has been organized in London that will take place on Sunday March 14 and it is likely to be one of the liveliest London celebrations of the year. More than 100.000 people attended the event last year.

The parade - a colorful array of floats, bands and groups representing Ireland's counties - will pass through central London from Green Park to Trafalgar Square starting at noon.

Trafalgar Square will then host the Irish live music and dance festival program in the main performance phase, showcasing the best of Irish music and traditional to contemporary dance.

A traditional icon of the day is the shamrock. And this stems from a more bona fide tale from Ireland that tells how Saint Patrick, the Holy Irish, used the three-leaf clover to explain the Trinity.

He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit can all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on their feast day.

The custom St. Patrick's Day came to America in 1737. That was the first year, St. Patrick's Day was publicly celebrated in that country, in Boston. Today, people celebrate the day with parades, the use of green beer and clothing of that color. One of the reasons St. Patrick's Day might have become so popular is that it takes place a few days before the first day of spring.
