I was suprised to see how many people celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Canada, Australia, USA, New Zealand and of course Ireland celebrate this holiday every year. But did you know that the 1st recorded parade was in New York City? In 1762 Irish soldiers in the English army marched through the city with their music. The leprechaun is purely and American invention and has nothing to do with St. Patrick or the celebration. Ireland has a 5 day festival every year. Wearing a shamrock on one's clothing is a sign of Irish nationalism or loyalty to the Roman Catholic faith. St. Patrick used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish. I will be wearing my green tomorrow as I do not want to get pinched as is tradition. I am irish and have the freckles to prove it. Many others will be wearing green to join in the fun and celebration or simply because they wish they were irish, maybe just for a day.
Even though we are celebrating St. Patrick's day tomorrow, we are working hard for you too. We are All My Sons Moving and Storage of Tulsa. As it works out in our favor, we always were green.
