I just looked up "St. Patrick's Day" on wikipedia. the first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in Boston in 1761. but the first "recorded" St. Patrick's Day parade was in NYC in 1762... if wikipedia knows the first parade was in Boston a year earlier then how is that not recorded?
just food for thought.
so SPD is the national holiday of Ireland. as pretty much the only non-Irish person in Boston, I'm wondering why don't we celebrate Święto Państwowe (the national holiday of Poland)?
very interesting, Ameryka.
you may think that the picture below is of Ireland.
...it's Poland!
