St. Patrick’s Day: Parade, Facts & Traditions ‑ HISTORY

 

[Warrigal]

I like St Patrick. It took great courage to return as a missionary to the land where he had been enslaved as a youth. I also like the way he converted the Irish, not by the might of the sword, but with a vision of a better way.

Mint flavored green milk in half gallon glass bottles has been a St. Patrick’s day cult favorite in Central New York since 1976. Each year they make about 14,000 gallons to meet the demand.

Could someone please explain to me what this is about? Does it have anything to do with drinking? Duh, I don't get the joke.

For me, it’s about candy.

I'm glad to see that someone has the facts about St Patrick. He wasn't Irish and he wasn't a Catholic. My husband didn't believe me when I told him that Christianity was established in Britain BEFORE Catholicism.
