Ireland: A country rich in culture

How much we know about the culture of the country whose symbol is the clover and green goblin?

The Irish are very charismatic, in the street they greet all but at the same time, do not support demonstrations of affection in public. But what do we know about the dance jumps and the typical Goblin both representing them?


  There are two types of Celtic dances, the set dancing and step dancing, there are two types of dances. The set can dance it any person, independent of their capabilities, on the other hand, the step, has ancient roots and is the most complex form of Irish dance popularized in the 1990 thanks to the Riverdance ensemble, and later to show Lord Of The Dance. Therefore, experienced dancers represent this dance.




St. Patrick's day is celebrated on 17 March to commemorate their employer bearing the same name. 

  A Christian tradition says that Patrick explained the mystery of the Holy Trinity using a three-leaf clover. So that day has been established as usual wear a Shamrock in the celebration of his feast. It is also common dress in color green and even dye with this color the beer in honor of Ireland, also nicknamed the 'Emerald Isle'.


The parade of the day of Saint Patrick in Dublin, capital of the Republic of Ireland, part of a festival that lasts five days and more than 675,000 people attended it in 2009.
A fundamental part of the feast of St. Patrick are numerous parades that take place in different parts of the world. From small towns and villages in Ireland and Ireland of the North to the big parades in New York, the largest in the world dedicated to St. Patrick, in which participate in one way or another hundreds of thousands of people each year. Other cities with major celebrations in honour of the Irish patron are London, Montreal, Chicago, Paris, Toronto, Buenos Aires or Manchester, among others.

  2. Catalina I found your entry really interesting, and indeed, I had never been interested by Ireland culture, but while I was looking the pictures of the Saint Patrick's Day I thought that it would be incredible to attend to that celebration, especially because I have heard that everybody drinks beer in the street after the parade.
