Where Else Would You Celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
Part 1
by Susan DunnDia dhuit, hello!
"The road from Chicago to Ireland is marked in green," they say, and the annual dying of the Chicago River emerald green is described as "right up there with the parting of the sea by Moses and the Pyramids of Egypt." Well, what's a little blarney, it's St. Patrick's Day.
And how is this different from the normal murky green of the River? "The difference," the official Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade website says, "is both significant and breathtaking." (Where is that stone when we need it most?)
Stephen M. Bailey, the man who dyed the River green the first time, said, "with characteristic Irish exaggeration, 'The Chicago River will dye the Illinois, which will dye the Mississippi, which will dye the Gulf of Mexico, which will send green dye up the gulf stream across the North Atlantic into the Irish Sea, a sea of green surrounding the land will appear as a greeting to all Irishmen of the Emerald Isle from the men of Erin in Chicagoland, USA.'"
Malarkey!
This is my hometown we're talking about, the Windy City, and where better to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? On this side of the Big Pond at any rate.
The legendary Richard J. Daley took part in the first St. Patrick's Day Parade formed on Chicago's West Side in the 50s, before he became mayor.
Here's a photo of the Shannon Rovers Fife and Drum Corps (Irish Pipe Band) stepping off the parade since 1956.
Irish and Catholic is the heritage of the City, not the only one in this melting pot city, but a strong one. My father, Ray Garrett (a good Irish name) loved his hometown, knew its history well, and was always telling me tales.
Every single time we rounded one curve on the road into Chicago from the suburbs he would say, "This is evidence of the power of the Catholic Church in this town." The whole highway had been swung around to allow a Catholic Church to remain standing.
This may be the subject of Eleen Skerrett's book, "At the Crossroads: Old Saint Patrick's and the Chicago Irish."
