Erin Go Bragh!Ireland forever (translation of Erin Go Bragh)! St. Patrick's day has been celebrated since the 17th century. It began as a religious holiday, and eventually became a national holiday in many countries. The wearing of the green was wearing a shamrock, a symbol of the Christian trinity with its three leaves. The day was a feast day, and the first parades in the United States were as early as the 17th century. This holiday remains a day for merriment and fun, with some U.S. cities dying their rivers, canals and water fountains green! Not to mention green beer! Wearing green is not an Irish tradition, as green is unlucky in Ireland, because of its association with the old green flag and oppression. But if you are caught not wearing green in the U.S. on St. Paddy's day, you might be subject to an affectionate pinch.
Our collection of cards often speak of remembering Ireland fondly, while enjoying the freedom of America. You also see images of people doing jigs, smoking pipes, wearing top hats, playing the harp and much more! See history through the lens of a vintage greeting card, or just to have a little fun! |
