This narrated by Seamus O'Malley explores the rich traditions and symbols of St. Patrick's Day in an engaging, conversational style. It delves into the history and evolution of the shamrock as a religious teaching tool and national symbol, explains how wearing green replaced blue as Ireland's iconic color, examines leprechauns' journey from Irish folklore to commercial mascots, and traces the development of St. Patrick's Day parades from their origins in diaspora communities to global celebrations. Throughout, Seamus weaves personal anecdotes and historical insights that reveal how these traditions reflect Irish identity, cultural resilience, and the immigrant experience, while acknowledging the tensions between religious roots, national pride, and modern commercialization. https://www.quietperiodplease.com/
