Irish day: ‘one big shindig^
by Carol Nix
staff Writer
Today? A holiday?!
That may be the reaction of many when
they are reminded that today is St.
Patrick’s Day, but for those with Irish
blood, it is a time for celebration and
family get-togethcrs. The “wearing of the
green” is a popular custom even for those
who aren’t Irish, like sophomore Beth
Temple from Winston-Salem, N.C. “I plan
to wear green just so I won’t get pinched to
death!” she said.
There are quite a few Irish people in
campus here at Elon. For these students,
today is an occasion to celebrate by wearing
green, which is symbolic of the Irish
four-leaf clover. Freshman Jim Hallihan,
who lives near Washington, D.C., describes
St. Patrick’s Day as “one big shindig.” He
and his full-blooded Irish family always get
together for the holiday and celebrate their
heritage. “Everybody dances while my
uncle plays the bagpipes,” he said. “We all
wear a lot of green and drink a lot of green
beer.”
Another Washington, D.C. student, who
is a true-to-heart Irishman, says that on St.
Patrick’s Day her sisters and brothers give
flowers and gifts to her mother. “We eat
com beef and cabbage and drink Irish
whiskey,” she said. “Then we go to the
bars in Georgetown.”
The commemoration of St. Patrick,
patron saint of Ireland, is an event that the
Irish look forward to each year. And why
not! Seeing the Irish celebrating the “Irish
way,” is enough to make anybody who is
not Irish “green with envy.”
