~March 17th is FULL of observance days. A few you may never have heard of but you all have heard of St Patrick’s Day! Saint Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. He is credited with successfully spreading Christianity throughout Ireland. The symbol of St. Patrick is a three-leaf shamrock, not a four-leaf clover. However, long before the shamrock became associated with St. Patrick’s Day, the four-leaf clover was regarded by ancient Celts as a charm against evil spirits. Did you know blue was the color originally associated with St. Patrick, but green is now favored? The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the American colonies was held in New York City on this day in 1762. The meal that became a St. Patrick’s Day staple across the country—corned beef and cabbage—was an American innovation. While ham and cabbage were eaten in Ireland, corned beef offered a cheaper substitute for impoverished immigrants.
Enjoy your cabbage, corned beef, oranges and lemons today, while you brag about your absolutely incredible kid while you are wearing green and trusting you doctor-patient relationship!
