What is the meaning behind St. Patrick’s Day?
St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, brought to the Emerald Isle when he was kidnapped and enslaved. Though he eventually escaped, he returned and advanced Christianity throughout the island.
Witt says the day gives Irish and Irish Americans the opportunity to “celebrate their heritage,” and Stack agrees that the parades in places like the states and England convey “that the Irish people have made a contribution to the society – that they were sort of welcomed, that they were accepted as citizens.”
St. Patrick is actually tied to the color blue. So why do people cloak themselves in green?
“The Irish Americans would wear the green as a reminder that they were nationalists first and foremost,” explains Witt. “The colors of the Irish flag are green, white and orange, the green symbolizing the Irish nationalism, the orange symbolizing the Orangemen of the north and the white symbolizing peace.”
Stack mentions the mythical belief that green is to be worn to “make you invisible to leprechauns,” which she says originated in America.
