Catholics Thrilled They’ll Be Able To Eat Meat On St. Patrick’s Day
... Lent — for St. Patrick’s Day. New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan and Diocese of Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas Di Marzio granted the dispensation to their flocks, and Irish eyes were smiling. “I’ll be kissing everyone, not only because I’m Irish, but I can add lamb to my stew!” Sara Shaughnessy, a 34-year-old web designer from Brooklyn, told The Post. “An Irish lady can’t live on soda bread — especially when she drinks,” she said, while sipping a beer at Carragher’s Pub & Restaurant in Midtown. Frank Shaughnessy, 39, Sara’s cousin, added, “Nice of God to allow me to eat some sausages.”. The New York and Brooklyn dioceses — which encompass all five boroughs — join others, including those on Long Island, Chicago, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, in giving the dispensation. From Ash Wednesday until Easter, canon ...

There's A Big Difference Between Shamrocks And Four-leaf Clovers
... a difference, people: The former, a young sprig of clover with three leaves, actually is a symbol of Ireland - and has been for centuries. So trumpeting it makes sense on St. Paddy's. The latter, not so much. Four-leaf clovers are associated with good luck because they are so hard to find. And while four-leaf clovers belong in your box of Lucky Charms cereal, they're not at the heart of Irish culture. One-minute lesson: The name shamrock derives from the Irish word "seamrog," and means young clover. Nothing too out-there or mysterious about that. "But there's also a spiritual and religious aspect as well," Eamonn Mc Grath, executive director of the Irish Cultural Centre of New England , in Canton, Mass., told the Daily News. Lore holds that St. Patrick used the shamrock's three leaves to represent the Holy Trinity — you know, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. A fourth leaf would have been, well, like a fifth wheel. Legend has it that Saint Patrick used three-leaf shamrocks to teach about the Blessed Trinity. (Dr. Andreas Franz Borchert/Dr. Andreas Franz Borchert). Nonetheless, people continually ...

How To Celebrate Ireland's Patron Saint And Where On Earth Is Skellig Michael
... while wearing a green wig, there's a little more to it than that. So who was St Patrick. Saint Patrick. He may have been named Maewyn Succat, and changed to Patrick when he later became a bishop. He may be thought of as Irish now, but his exact birthplace is unknown. It was most likely in England, Wales or Scotland. In his teens, he was captured by pirates and taken to Ireland, where he was put to work as a herdsman. After six years, he managed to escape and possibly fled back to his home. He became a Christian priest before returning to Ireland as a missionary in the mid fifth century. He spent the next 30 years establishing schools, churches, and monasteries across the country. Patrick was later appointed as successor to St Palladius, the first bishop of Ireland. He is said to have died on March 17 in the year 461. The flag of St Patrick is a red saltire on a white background. The association with Ireland's patron saint dates back to the 1780 s, when the Order of St Patrick ...

There's A Green Comet In The Night Sky This St. Patrick's Day
... binoculars. According to amateur astronomer Bob King writing for Sky and Telescope , you should look for the comet any time after dark by first locating the star Merak , which makes up both the back paw of the constellation Ursa Major and the lower front (as in, away from the handle) star in the "big dipper.". Over the next week or so, the comet will slowly move up through the middle of that dipper's bowl, but on Friday evening you'll be able to find it beneath the base of the bowl, just like in my crude illustration below. See 'twin' comets buzz Earth hotter and brighter than expected. Of course, glowing green isn't exactly rare for a comet: That's often an indication that it's burning through gases such as diatomic carbon rather than avoiding being pinched. Still, a glowing green comet on St. Patrick's Day doesn't happen every year and this particular comet only visits the inner solar system every five to seven years. Clearly, Comet 41 P is trying to crash Earth's epic St. Paddy's day bash on this visit, because the ...

Ireland’s leader was in Washington for a series of events in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, including breakfast with the vice president, a luncheon at the U. S. Capitol, a one-on-one meeting with President Trump and a long-standing annual ceremony in which the U. S. president is presented with a bowl of shamrocks. Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, rights, presents a traditional gift of a bowl of shamrocks to President Trump at the White House. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters). Long before the festivities began, the visit was controversial in Ireland. Almost 40,000 people signed a petition titled “Shamrock for Trump: Not in my name,” demanding that Kenny cancel the trip. During the U. S. presidential campaign, Kenny criticized Trump for his “racist and dangerous” language. Even so, the Irish leader followed through with the annual tradition on Thursday, prompting his staff and more than 20 Irish reporters to fly eight hours across the Atlantic to listen ...
