St. Patrick’s Day

March 16, 2013 by Bronx-PR

st. Patricks

Every March we see the overflow of green, not because of spring or the environment, but in decorations and clothing as people go green in celebration of St. Patrick.

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated every March 17, on the saint’s religious feast day and the anniversary of his death (History.com).  The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years.  But I bet you didn’t know that the very first parade in honor of St. Patrick took place in New York City on March 17, 1762 (History.com).

Who is St. Patrick:

  • St. Patrick is the Patron Saint and national apostle of Ireland.
  • He was credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland
  • Legend has it that he explained the Holy Trinity using the three leaves of a native Irish clover

For two minutes of fun facts check out Bet You Didn’t Know: St. Patrick’s Day video.

Did you know:

  • The American FactFinder estimates a total population of 39,262 Bronxites of Irish ancestry based on the 2010 Census data.
  • Notable Bronxites of Irish ancestry include: John Savage (poet), Arthur Murphy (1st County Chairman), Frank Gilroy (playwright & screen writer) (Source: Bronx County Historical Society).
