Celebrat pe 17 martie, Sfântul Patrick este una dintre puţinele sărbători care dă naștere unui adevărat festival la nivel mondial, celebrată cu mare fast în aproape toate colţurile lumii.
Celebrated on March 17, St. Patrick's Day is one of the few holidays that gives rise to a true worldwide festival, celebrated with great pomp in almost every corner of the world.
Pe lângă apetitul pentru berea irlandeză, sărbătoarea creştină deschide cele mai spectaculoase parade şi petreceri pe străzile Dublinului, în primul rând, precum şi pe bulevardele din New York, Moscova, Munchen, Londra, Viena sau Sydney.
In addition to the appetite for Irish beer, the Christian holiday opens the most spectacular parades and parties on the streets of Dublin in the first place, as well as on the boulevards of New York, Moscow, Munich, London, Vienna or Sydney.
For several days, the great boulevards swarmed with leprechauns dressed in green suits, high colored hats, and wearing the clover as a symbol of their spiritual patron.
According to the custom of any holiday, a lot of beer is consumed on this day, raisin pie, messages are sent to loved ones, greeting cards with prayers and Irish wishes.
Although St. Patrick's Day belongs to Irish culture, the first parade in his honor was not held in Ireland, but in the United States in 1762, when Irish soldiers in the British Army held the first party dedicated to their spiritual patron.
The legend says that Patrick was only four years old when he was captured and taken to Ireland, then a pagan country.
Aici a devenit sclav la o fermă, Patrick se dedică vieţii religioase. Rămâne captiv în Irlanda până la vârstă de 20 de ani, când Patrick visează că Dumnezeu îi spune să plece din Irlanda pe mare. Acesta are însă o nouă revelaţie, în care i se arată poporul irlandez care îl roagă să îl salveze de păgânii barbari.
Here he became a slave on the farm, Patrick dedicates himself to religious life. He remains captive in Ireland by the age of 20, when Patrick dreams that God tells him to leave Ireland by sea. But he has a new revelation, in which is shown the Irish people begging him to save them from the barbarian pagans.
Sfântul Patrick începe să propovăduiască Evanghelia, reuşind, împreună cu discipolii, săi să convertească la creştinism mii de irlandezi. În următorii 40 de ani, acesta construieşte biserici în toată ţara care se va converti în totalitate la creştinism.
St. Patrick starts preaching the gospel, and together with his disciples they succeeded in converting thousands of Irish people to Christianity. Over the next 40 years, he builds churches throughout the country that will be fully converted to Christianity.
A traditional symbol of St. Patrick's Day is the clover. The legends say that Patrick chose this plant to explain the notion of the Holy Trinity to the Irish pagans
