an Irish celebration of freedom
I learned that corn beef is not the real meat of the holiday

I Wonder if leprechauns and gnomes were created using the same history background

I learned that St. Patrick’s Day has a lot of things I can relate to. There were also a lot of things that were cleared up for me. I still wonder if there are really no snakes in Ireland “current day”

1. Three leaves symbolize hope, love and faith- fourth- luck
2. Corned beef and cabbage not traditional meal (devastated that was traditional with my grandma growing up)                                          3. 1st Parade in Boston not IRELAND. Boston still has biggest parade. (Is St. Patrick's day really an Irish tradition then or an American Irish tradition?)

Notes:
-It was established in 1631-New information
-St. Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland
-Rumored to have driven out the snakes, but there were no snakes in Ireland.
-wearing green is an American tradition
Wonderment Question: Even though the last article reported that wearing green is more of an American tradition, this article seems to report the opposite. Why the confusion? This article claims that is it because Ireland is the Emerald Isle, which would lend itself more to the wearing of green.

Summary: The history of St. Patrick's Day is rich in history, myth, and confusion. There are many traditions associated with St. Patrick's Day that are not a part of what it really is about. Traditions like corned beef and cabbage and wearing green. Leprechauns are also a big part of the myth of St. Patrick's Day.

Connections:
I learned that Irish Americans brought aspects and traditions from their homeland culture and created new traditions that have become apart of American culture and tradition. Most Americans cannot distinguish or know the history behind St. Patricks day and assume that things like corn beef and cabbage are Irish when in fact, the Irish American new traditions also influenced Irish homeland traditions and around the world.
