This was a terrible time in Irish history, so today when I see a potato, I am very thankful for its nutrition &#8211; and its addition to my plate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, you can see the descendants of those Irish immigrants who fled the potato famine \u2013 plus many more &#8211; celebrating Saint Patrick\u2019s Day in cities like Boston, New York, Pennsylvania, and more! They hold parades complete with marching bands, leprechaun balloons, shamrock flags, and bagpipers.&nbsp; They feast on corned beef and cabbage, which includes those wonderful potatoes!&nbsp; And, as an added bit of history, corned beef and cabbage isn\u2019t truly an Irish dish \u2013 the Irish like to use bacon and cabbage.&nbsp; But those first immigrants couldn\u2019t afford bacon, so they used corned beef instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of celebrations, Irish dancing has become very popular throughout the world in the last several decades.&nbsp; The upbeat jigs played on Irish fiddles, along with the high kicking, stomping, jumping, and overall festive air have made this a crowd favorite all across the globe.&nbsp; These dance shows have also given rise to famous groups of Irish singers, including Celtic Women and Celtic Thunder.&nbsp; Their lilting songs rich with Irish stories and history are truly wonderful to hear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when we talk about music, we must mention the Celtic Harp, a triangular-shaped wooden instrument with wire strings that makes an incredibly soothing, rippling sound.&nbsp; It makes me think of angels playing heavenly music on soft, puffy clouds.&nbsp; These harps are featured on everything from Irish coins and coats of arms to flags and souvenirs.&nbsp; You can see these harps in England, too, on the King\u2019s coat of arms, along with unicorns, lions, and ostrich feathers.&nbsp; This is because Ireland was formerly ruled by Britain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we can\u2019t forget the ancient Celtic myths, such as leprechauns.&nbsp; In a prior episode, we discussed leprechauns, little imp-like mythical men who are said to be very wily, smart and almost impossible to see or catch.&nbsp; They are said to be bootmakers for fairies, as well as the guardians of pots of gold at the end of rainbows.&nbsp; We see these little leprechauns today on everything from cereal boxes to sportswear.&nbsp; There is a popular cereal in the US called \u201cLucky Charms\u201d with morsels shaped like shamrocks, rainbows, pots of gold, and unicorns. &nbsp; The University of Notre Dame calls its sports teams \u201cthe Fighting Irish\u201d and its school mascot is a leprechaun.&nbsp; In Massachusetts, the Boston Celtics feature \u201cLucky the Leprechaun\u201d on their logo.&nbsp; He is a little winking man with a bowler hat, bow tie, pipe, and cane, twirling a basketball on one finger! &nbsp; I guess Lucky has given up boot-making and is now playing basketball!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Irish people are famous for making things besides music and harps.&nbsp; They built the Titanic and it was a glorious ship \u2013 a wonder of its time.&nbsp; It featured massive chandeliers, gleaming staircases, stained glass windows, and gorgeous staterooms. Unfortunately, Mother Nature made an even more impressive masterpiece \u2013 a gigantic iceberg.&nbsp; The Titanic was no match for an iceberg, and it sunk in the chilly Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, on its very first voyage.&nbsp; Many lives were lost on that fateful day.&nbsp; Today, there are beautiful statues in Belfast and Addergool, Ireland, honoring the Irish passengers on the Titanic.&nbsp; The Addergool statue is a stunning piece of metal art.&nbsp; It shows men in caps and suits, and women in long skirts and bonnets, carrying suitcases toward the prow of a ship, some of them are turning and waving.&nbsp; Of the 14 Addergool passengers, only 3 survived the sinking of the Titanic.&nbsp; What a beautiful memorial this is in honor of those brave, hopeful travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if building, dancing, and singing weren\u2019t enough for the Irish, they also like to kiss-and not just people, but stones!&nbsp; And they do it upside down!&nbsp; Do you believe that?&nbsp; Yes, it\u2019s true.&nbsp; It is actually called \u201cKissing the Blarney Stone!\u201d&nbsp; So, what does \u201cblarney\u201d mean and why is a stone involved?&nbsp; Well, \u201cblarney\u201d means to speak flattery or nonsense \u2013 basically being very charming but not really meaning it.&nbsp; Have you ever heard someone say, \u201cYou\u2019re full of blarney!\u201d?&nbsp; They\u2019re saying, \u201cYou\u2019re full of nonsense!\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there is the history of the Blarney Stone.&nbsp; In Ireland, there is a castle called Blarney Castle.&nbsp; Many centuries ago, Queen Elizabeth 1, who was the ruler of England and Ireland at the time, sent one of her earls to take Blarney Castle away from its owner, the King of Munster.&nbsp; Queen Elizabeth needed castles and land to give to her British people as payment for fighting the Irish.&nbsp; But this king was a smooth talker and charmed the earl.&nbsp; When the Queen heard that the earl had not yet captured the castle, she was furious, stating that the earl\u2019s reports were full of \u201cblarney.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A legend then grew that if you kiss a certain stone on Blarney Castle, you will receive the gift of gab and persuasiveness just like its former owner, the King of Munster.&nbsp; The thing is, you have to lie on your back, hold on to hand railings while leaning backward, and kiss the stone upside down!&nbsp; Picture yourself laying on your bed and trying to kiss your bedside table or bureau upside down while leaning off the edge of the bed.&nbsp; I don\u2019t know who is filled with more blarney \u2013 the folks who do this or the Irish who convince them to do it!&nbsp; But Winston Churchill is said to have kissed the stone in 1912 and went on to become one of the most famous British Prime Ministers, giving amazing speeches and helping his nation win WWII.&nbsp; So, is it really a bunch of \u201cblarney?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And after kissing the Blarney Stone, many folks like to relax and sip some Irish beer.&nbsp; The Irish make some of the finest beer in the world with names like \u201cHappy Days\u201d and \u201cHarp.\u201d&nbsp; I guess I can understand these names after listening to these stories of stone kissing, harp music, and smooth-talking Irishmen.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, there are the Irish proverbs like:&nbsp; \u201cIf you\u2019re lucky enough to be Irish, you\u2019re lucky enough\u201d and \u201cA best friend is like a four-leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.\u201d&nbsp; Or my favorite: \u201cAlways remember to forget the friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember those that have stuck by you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have loved learning all these little Irish facts!&nbsp; What about you? &nbsp; Have you ever heard about leprechauns and their pots of gold at the end of rainbows?&nbsp; What do you think of kissing a cold stone on a crusty castle?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think Ireland is full of fascinating history and folklore and would love to learn more.&nbsp; What about you?&nbsp; Why don\u2019t you ask your parents to take you to a library this Saint Patrick\u2019s Day to find children\u2019s books about Ireland and its folklore?&nbsp; How about \u201cSpuds and the Spider\u201d about a friendship between a spider and a leprechaun, or the book titled, \u201cIrish Fairy Tales and Legends.\u201d&nbsp; For older kids, there are stories about the Irish Pirate Queen Grace O\u2019Malley or the voyage of the Titanic.&nbsp; These all sound like great reads under the covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear from you and learn what Irish books you\u2019ve read or Irish traditions you celebrate on Saint Patrick\u2019s Day.&nbsp;
