Immigrate to Ireland, first understand the local customs and culture of Ireland. This Emerald Isle possesses breathtaking natural beauty, while maintaining the hustle and bustle of modern cities. With its winding history, from Riverdance to passionate pop music, the entire island is permeated with an artistic atmosphere. The delicate, fresh shamrock and the magnificent, ancient castles are exquisite sights not to be missed in Ireland. Let us come together to explore these "mismatched" wonders!
The shamrock is the national flower of Ireland, symbolizing the doctrine of the Holy Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It has a tenacious vitality, capable of taking root and blooming wherever it goes. This description is also quite fitting for the temperament of the Irish people. There are many descendants of Irish immigrants, and wherever there are Irish people, there is a spring of shamrocks, which is the Irish National Day on March 17th every year—St. Patrick's Day.
St. Patrick's Day has been a public holiday in Ireland since 1903, and in recent years, it has become the grandest festival in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. Originally, St. Patrick's Day lasted only one day, but it has now extended to over a week, attracting millions of spectators from all over the world. The celebratory atmosphere is filled with music, providing a charming backdrop for the festival. Throughout the week, the Irish people do their utmost to host a passionate and joyful celebration, where people can enjoy the finest classical and contemporary Irish music, and taste the best Irish cuisine and beverages, including farmhouse-made cheese, various meats, candied fruits, cakes, cookies, as well as steaming grilled fish and various fruit juices.
The most exciting part of St. Patrick's Day is the city parade, a carnival meticulously prepared by Irish artists for the festival, filled with a mischievous and playful atmosphere. Twelve Irish and international marching bands perform throughout the city. A local person dressed as St. Patrick leads the carnival parade, followed by huge floats, bands, and grape carts. Both Catholics and Protestants wear various fancy costumes, and the streets are packed with people. To commemorate St. Patrick, people wear green clothing. Tourists can enjoy concerts, join in the festivities, listen to lectures on the history of St. Patrick, and participate in various sports, including horse racing, fun runs, and parades, with the entire city filled with the clamor of celebration.
