St Patrick's Day 2022

That’s because of Patrick, who reportedly used it to illustrate the nature of the Holy Trinity to a local (pagan) king. New York’s is the biggest on earth, with two million people lining midtown Manhattan to watch on. He set about converting the previously pagan, druidic island to Christianity with remarkable success. His arrival is dated to 432 AD, and marks a major moment in Irish history. There are no native snakes in Ireland to this day, but that could be to do with the climate and the vagaries of the Ice Age thaw. There are also parades and parties in hundreds of towns and cities from California to Malaysia with one thing in common: the wearing of the colour green.

The fantastic Fianna Phadraig Pipe Band will be heading out into the pubs and bars of Levenshulme all evening, so you can either plot up and wait for them, or follow them from place to place. This is, apparently, thanks to extremely short lines from keg to tap (the keg is literally underneath the tap) and special certification from Guinness. While it’s not necessarily hosting anything specifically Paddy’s Day related, its Guinness is some of the very best - if not THE best - in the whole city. With food from the Eat New York people (including an Irish melt bagel), and live music from 12pm onwards, this might be the only place to be. Piccadilly Gardens is being transformed for a four-day ‘Irish Weekender’ from St Patrick’s Day, with all manner of entertainment taking place.

Ulysses by James Joyce (1920). Why not start with this doozy of a narrative? This book really is so fun. It employs “scrotumtightening” as an adjective within ...

The book is wonderful and strange, and invokes a temptation to simply list several of its sentences, and leave it at that—a temptation to which I’m willing to submit. “You know when the roof of your mouth starts politely folding your brain in half, and your chest flutters like a cathedral filled with bees? “My great-aunt kept chairs the way some people keep cats.” “I wake in a hurry, as if I’ve been blown out of sleep by a giant puff of wind.” “You’d do better to find a husband, never mind your hobbits.” Sure, you could buy yourself a copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray and pass an evening in thoughtful reflection on hedonism and vanity. For the deep diver, though, Richard Ellmann’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography supplies a brilliant portrait of Wilde’s charm and complications, and this exploration of the books that influenced Wilde serves as both a different kind of window into his mind and an aspirational reading list. Last year’s The Magician is in conversation with that earlier work, and follows the German writer Thomas Mann from his childhood through to his exile in Switzerland in the 1930s, where he is obsessed with the diaries he’s left behind in Nazi-occupied Munich, which reveal the homosexuality he’s long kept hidden. Murdoch, who was born in Dublin in 1919 and died in Oxfordshire, UK, in 1999 is a thoughtful and hilarious writer, and this novel won her the Booker Prize following three previous nominations. The sea!,” incidentally one of the only phrases I’ve retained from my collegiate studies of Ancient Greek—when they crested a hill and caught sight of the ocean, and therefore friendly territory, following battle. (Those looking for further information on the Troubles might turn to Patrick Radden Keefe’s nonfiction saga, Say Nothing.) The novel centers on Mona, and swings between her life as a 20-something Irish immigrant living in Birmingham to her home in a seaside town some forty years later. Stephen eats breakfast with “stately, plump Buck Mulligan,” teaches a history class; Leopold eats “with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls,” and stews over his wife, Molly, and her lover. (It was taken from the turn-of-the-fourth-century philosopher and historian Xenophon’s description of members of the Greek army shouting Θάλαττα! Θάλαττα!—pronounced Thálatta! Thálatta! and meaning “The sea! In it, we follow Stephen Dedalus (who you may know from A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man), Leopold Bloom, and the friends and foes in their orbit, through their travels in Dublin on June 16, 1904.

We Irish found ourselves invoking some of the most basic values embodied in the story of St. Patrick – values such as solidarity, care, kindness and compassion.

That great spirit is one we must extend to all those with whom we share this planet. It is also a recognition of the shared humanity by which we are bound together and which is so essential to the crafting of an ethical world. A dark shadow has now been cast across our world as we witness the unfolding events in Ukraine. We saw, in villages, towns and suburbs across the country, people coming together to help each other. St. Patrick came to Irish shores as an outsider, an exile, a migrant. What a failure on vaccines the world has suffered. This is a matter far from finished for so many of our citizens. Our diaspora and their families in Ireland were called to make difficult painful sacrifices. During that time of the Pandemic at its worst we learned so much about the cost of the decisions made and ethics on which true social solidarity must be built. Wherever they may be, Irish people gather to celebrate the rich culture and heritage that speaks so profoundly of a shared past. We witnessed the power of an appeal for supportive, collective action in reducing public health risks. These are values that the migrant Patrick could see as serving all humanity.
