Can you share any meaningful St. Patrick's Day insight?

St. Patrick introduced Christianity to Ireland, so a case could perhaps be made for making it a church holiday (which would mean a specific mass would occur on that day, like on Good Friday or Christmas Day), but it is instead a public holiday, and is therefore not taken particularly seriously. St. Patrick's Day celebrations are mainly divided into two things - the parade (a family-oriented event, with sometimes elaborate "floats" etc), and the pub. Every town and city will have a parade, the drinking afterwards will be excessive, and radio phone-in programmes on March 18th will feature callers telling of depraved, irresponsible, or occasionally even violent behaviour they might have witnessed the day before.It does occur in the middle of Lent though, and there are many other "holy" days during the February-April period, so this might explain why it's not seen as a sacred day.

I guess it's more or less a celebration of Irishness . .. For many, however, it's just an excuse to get drunk ... While wearing a silly hat! youtube.com/watch?v=slURGdMmcA4.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
