Green is for the Irish Catholics of the rest of the isle. Me, I'm 1/8 Irish Catholic, so green for me today. -------------------- Melissa Friendship is thicker than blood. ~Rent Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Orange Irish       #252754 - 03/17/06 12:41 PM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State Well, as far as I have been told, my mother's side of the family came from that part of Ireland where all the religious fighting has been going on for centuries. If there's anyone here from Ireland, perhaps they can shed better light on it than I; but I believe the Catholics are green and the Protestants are orange. I was always told to keep my orange-ness "under my belt," like it was something I should be ashamed of. Heck, I had nothing to do with no religious fighting! Still, I don't wear orange -- OR green; I wear beige. Beige is nice and neutral, don'tcha think? -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Better a Pumpkin Than a Lazy Bum       #252755 - 03/17/06 12:44 PM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State Get back to work, you Goof-Off! -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Orange For Me       #252776 - 03/17/06 01:17 PM Edit Reply Quote Snorkie Reged: 02/15/05 Posts: 1999 Loc: Northern Illinois, USA I was going to guess it was because you came out of retirement to work on a road crew...or go hunting...or you did something devious and had to go to the county "work farm."

Uh, oh....guess I should be wearing orange too! But I don't own anything orange. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

My nana's English, but dammit, you better call her Welsh, because her family was welsh. I get a kick out of that. Anyhow, there's Irish on her side, on my mom's parents' sides, and then even DH has some Irish in him. but ONE irish person in a pub in the UK? You gotta be kidding me!! Any clue when St. David's day is? I guess, being really much moreso Welsh, I should celebrate him!!LOL! -------------------- Keep on keepin' on...

My brother, who's name is Patrick, gets gifts from people at his work, nice hu? My gandparents came from Ierland. One came in through New York, with $25, the other came in through California with $35. They met up somwhere in the state of Ohio. My Gradpa had a brouge, & the family used to have parties like every weekend, which they recorded. So my mom brings out those tapes evey St. Patrick's day, so she can hear her dad's voice again. It's kinda sweet, even though I never got to meet him. Just a little family history... -------------------- Kiwi IBS-C Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     ah bummer! nt       #253306 - 03/20/06 09:11 PM Edit Reply Quote _Willow Reged: 04/06/05 Posts: 2090 Loc: Canada. -------------------- Keep on keepin' on...

I, obviously, am Irish. I think one of my granny's granny's people were Scottish but it's a few generations back. Protestants don't actually wear orange on St Patrick's Day over here though..orange is very much associated with the Loyalist political movement in Northern Ireland- they celebrate on July 12th and march all over Northern Ireland. I had a very boring day. I made a traditional Irish dinner- bacon and turnip with boiled potato and we went to the cinema. Ireland played England in rugby on Saturday so we saved our drinking til then. (we won, and won the triple crown trophy so there were lots of celebrations) I did wear green- my brother got me a really cute Shamrock Care Bear sweatshirt in Long Island a few years ago that is especially festive! I promise to try harder next year! -------------------- S. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all)
