St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17 in many places around the world, but especially in Ireland, where St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday. St. Patrick’s Day was originally a religious holiday, but over the years it has evolved into a celebration of Irish pride, a manifestation of its traditions, a crowd of people in green who fill the streets and proudly display the Irish flag for a week. <\/p>\n
St. Patrick was not even Irish but Scottish, but at the age of 16 he was taken prisoner and sold as a slave to Ireland, where he learned to speak Celtic. Years later he escaped to France where he became a priest and at the age of 46 he decided to return to Ireland to
\nevangelize its inhabitants until the time of his death, back in the 5th century. <\/p>\n
It turns out that St. Patrick, in his attempt to evangelize Ireland, used a three-leaf clover to explain the mystery of the Holy Trinity to the pagans. The clover became the symbol of Ireland and its green color is currently a symbol of the country’s identity. <\/p>\n
Ireland is a beautiful country, with happy people, lovers of its culture, among whom redheads of Celtic origin predominate.
\nBut if there is one thing that characterizes Ireland, it is the deep-rootedness of its traditions, the permanence of its folk music that was transmitted orally, its landscapes as green as St. Patrick’s clover, its traditional foods and its eternal rainy days.<\/p>\n
If you really want to get to know Ireland, we recommend that you become part of it this summer and spend a few days with an Irish family, surfing in Wexford, enjoying Bray Beach, exploring Dublin Bay or learning English surrounded by nature in Kilkenny.
\nIf you have an adventurous spirit and want to explore more, at Connectors we encourage you to take a school year in Ireland, where you can be part of its traditions, its music, its gastronomy, its history and come back speaking English, with an Irish accent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
