St. Patrick in motion: the dance that connects Ireland with the world
The celebration of St. Patrick is not limited to the borders of Ireland; it’s a party that brings people from around the world together through dance! Irish step dance, with its energetic rhythm and precise movements, has transcended borders and become a symbol of Irish culture. At My Bar, we invite you to join us for a night of fun and camaraderie as we celebrate this tradition with live music and dance.
Who was St. Patrick?
The story of St. Patrick is fascinating. Although not Irish by birth and not originally named Patrick, his legacy endures in Ireland’s history. Born as Maewyn in Scotland in 387, he was kidnapped by Irish pirates and sold into slavery. After escaping, he became a priest and returned to Ireland to spread Christianity, establishing churches and monasteries. His contribution to the country’s spirituality made him the patron saint of Ireland, remembered and celebrated every March 17th.
Is St. Patrick's Day all about green?
The colour green is certainly the star of St. Patrick’s Day, but did you know it wasn’t always so? Historically, blue was the colour associated with St. Patrick, but the transition to green dates back to the time of the Irish rebellion in the 18th century when it was adopted as a symbol of national identity and resistance. Since then, green has deeply rooted itself in the celebration, from clothing to decorations and, of course, beverages.
Why toast with beer on St. Patrick's Day?
The connection between St. Patrick’s Day and beer consumption has deep roots in Irish tradition. Coinciding with Lent, this festival offers an opportunity to relax restrictions on alcohol. At My Bar, we invite you to toast in honour of Ireland’s patron saint with an exceptional selection of beers that will elevate your celebration to new heights.
Join the celebration at My Bar this St. Patrick’s, where tradition blends with fun to create unforgettable memories. We look forward to toasting together in honour of Ireland’s patron saint!
