St. Paddy's Day (March 17th) Make St Patrick's an Official Holiday Every year on March 17th,
men and women around the world raise a
toast or two in honour of St. Patrick, Ireland's greatest saint. While St.
Patrick's Day is undoubtedly the most popular Irish tradition to survive in the
modern world, what do we really know about the man and his legend? If you are
interested, visit the Saint Patrick
page. The Atlanta St. Patrick's Parade
and St. Patrick's Family Festival is held each year in downtown Atlanta. The
2009 Parade is Atlanta's 128th since 1858. This is the 151th
Anniversary of the first Hibernian Benevolent Society of Atlanta's St.
Patrick's Parade.
In the early 1900s, Nathaniel Colgan asked around Ireland concerning the shamrock and found that depending upon who you asked, it could be the Trifolium repens (white clover), Folium minus (lesser trefoil), Trifolium pratense (purple clover), or the Medicagio Lupulina (Black Medick). So take your pick! Whichever you choose, pin a piece to your St Paddy's outfit and at the end of the day, place it into the last glass of drink, then toast to the health of all and pick the wet drowned shamrock out of the glass and toss it over your left shoulder.
