Why we wear green on St. Patrick’s Day and other Irish traditions

[@sirenavg5467]

Green is my favourite colour ☘️ Ireland, Land, Nature, Emeralds, Dresses & prosperity 💗 I’m Irish with Hazel Green Eyes & Natural Reddish Brown Hair. I’m so proud to see our blood fighting so hard in Australia 🇦🇺 for Freedom! Fighting for what’s right. They’ve been a big inspiration for the rest of us. Who knew sending so many to a country would bite them in the butt one day. They don’t call us the fighting Irish for nothing!😉👍 ☘️ ❤️

My students loved this video!

[@fabplays6559]

That's a shame, because this video is full of misinformation and is incorrect, and I live in Ireland. We did not become an independent country in the 1600s (I have no clue where this video got that information from), though we did have several FAILED rebellions for hundreds of years. We finally officially left the United Kingdom in 1921. That is TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY YEARS after this video claims. Please do not share this video with students in future and make sure that you share correct information.

I wear green and my family does also not only on St Patrick's day but most of the time during the year it's a beautiful color and it shows that we are Irish 100% whenever we go to an Irish party we make sure we have an Irish sweater or something in green the show our pride of who we are it's a tradition that I live on forever and we wish everybody a happy saint Patrick's day it's a shame the parade was canceled in New York because it is coronavirus and other places around the USA shame on them they could have still had it and have people have a mask on if they're that afraid of it but anyway who I could say is was start a new day and top of the morning to you 🍀🇨🇮💯🍀

[@mrjim2462]

You say your Irish yet I'd say you couldn't name a single place in the country other then Cork or Dublin, you even used the wrong flag. 🇮🇪 = Ireland. 🇨🇮 = Ivory Coast.

Hy this is valuable information but you can reduce the background music volume or if you provide any information there should not be any background music.

[@gracesmith3684]

I don't really understand why people celebrate an Irish holiday. Unless you are Irish, have irish origin or are Catholic then why celebrate? Also, very few people here in Ireland wear green on St paddys day. It's more common to see people wear orange or white.

[@michellebadillo7574]

i'm irish but i'm also native american so no one can tell i'm irish. i'm in the usa but i want to wear something more traditional and authentic for st paddys. do people there wear the irish flag or celtic symbols on that day? do they wear a pin?

[@michellebadillo7574]

i find it so lame that people making st patricks day about getting drunk and dressing like a leprechaun. they make a joke out of the holiday? similar to cinco de mayo being celebrated in the usa. sort of makes a mockery.

[@chrisgray1178]

@@michellebadillo7574a pin of a harp it’s symbolic and traditional. The drinking etc. is more American. In Ireland we go to mass and it’s a day to get together with your family, friends with traditional music. The whole party thing and drinking to excess is marketing.

[@dkaulitz13]

I'm not Irish but used to be an Irish dancer. I absolutely love the culture and have much appreciation for it so that's why I would celebrate it. I also love the music and language 🤷‍♀️

[@meghanmullin5116]

@@chrisgray1178 I'm in American, with Irish heritage, and we live in a college town, and I hate how it is made into a drinking holiday, and leprechauns. In our house we decorate with traditional Irish decor, with a touch of whimsey, and cook traditional Irish food, and listen to traditional Irish music (not just pub songs)

[@cyborg9652]

St. Patrick's day is one of my most favorite celebrations ever. On that day all irish people wear green clothes and green accessories. Green is my favorite color and I have many green clothes. Green is the color of hope that's why I love this color. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

This video is wrong in almost every detail regarding St Patrick's Day, and in several instances insulting and offensive to Ireland and its people.

[@mow3186]

It is completely wrong. It’s almost an amazing thing to witness how a video could be so utterly wrong in very facet it mentions without actually intending to be. It’s got to be a record of some sort.

[@JBs_explorenmore]

What is the answer

[@queenapryllm8454]

Or wear orange and white as well, some do for culture, some do for a piss up, it is day off bit of fun

[@fabplays6559]

The orange represents Northern Ireland which is part of the UK, so I don't know how appropriate that would be lmao.

[@Justalongshot]

This might be the most wrong a video can possibly be on the topic.

[@void9837]

I am a descendant of Irish immigrants in America. But Christians are not supposed to worship St. Patrick, or honor him because he performed miracles through the power of the Holy Spirit, and didn't have his own powers. Exodus 20

Somehow I don't think all the people wearing green are Catholics. My last name is McGovern and my father was Catholic. My mother's last name is Scott, and she raised us Presbyterian, which is my faith. I could wear either color. I think I'm going to make my own shirt with the flag of Ireland on it, identifying both Catholic and Protestant.

Jesus - does this woman know anything about Ireland.. .. English involvement in Ireland goes back to a knight called Strongbow who was invited to Dublin and made virtual lord of the isle.. as a vassal of the King of England that made Ireland de facto possession.. 1641 was a catholic uprising when many protestants were massacred , causing outrage in England. the King was having issues with Parliament at the time and a Civil War broke out. it would not be until that war ended on British mainland that a Parliamentary army was sent to Ireland to subdue the Irish rebels and Royalists who had formed a confederacy. Ireland was brought back into the fold and remained there until 1921. the 6 counties remaining with UK by democratic choice to this day. ** green was often considered an unlucky colour to wear because it was preferred colour of the Fairy Folk - who didn't look kindly on humans wearing it. btw . and st Patrick was British..
