Happy St. Patrick’s Day From Prospector Ranch: Pubs You Can Visit That Are Near Here!
~ Natalia Radcliffe ~Happy March! It’s the third month into 2025, and the days are slowly getting warmer. This month heralds a couple of holidays, one of which is St. Patrick’s Day!
Did you know owner Meggan is part Irish?
She can trace part of her heritage to the town of County Kerry in Ireland, where her mother’s grandparents were from. She’s actually had the opportunity to visit the country before multiple times, including being able to visit the city of Dublin, and explore the country on horseback, being able to see gorgeous coast views and quaint village scenes.
What once was an Irish holiday more rooted in the Christian religion has turned into a more secular holiday here in the United States, a time for people to celebrate all things Irish culture. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade here in the United States was on March 17, 1772 when a group of homesick Irish soldiers serving in the English army decided to march in New York City to honor their country’s patron saint (who was Saint Patrick, credited with bringing Christianity to the Irish people).
Ever since then, it has slowly become a well-known and recognized holiday in the United States, even though it is not technically a federal holiday. In fact, most of the traditions we think of when celebrating St. Patrick’s Day did not come around until the early 1700s, such as the advent of the first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the 1770s.
