A little note about Saint Patrick's Day

What is  Saint Patrick's Day ?

Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick"), is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated annually on 17 March, the death date of the most commonly-recognised patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461).

Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early seventeenth century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, as well as celebrating the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, céilithe, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks. Christians also attend church services, and the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption.

Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador and Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora around the world; especially in Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.



What is between Green and Saint Patrick's Day ?



On St Patrick's Day it is customary to wear shamrocks and/or green clothing or accessories (the "wearing of the green").

St Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. This story first appears in writing in 1726, though it may be older. In pagan Ireland, three was a significant number and the Irish had many triple deities.  The triple spiral symbol appears at many ancient megalithic sites in Ireland.
The colour green has been associated with Ireland since at least the 1640s, when the green harp flag was used by the Irish Catholic Confederation. Green ribbons and shamrocks have been worn on St Patrick's Day since at least the 1680s. Green was adopted as the colour of the Friendly Brothers of St Patrick, an Irish fraternity founded in about 1750. However, when the Order of St. Patrick—an Anglo-Irish chivalric order—was founded in 1783 it adopted blue as its colour. This led to blue being associated with St Patrick. In the 1790s, green became associated with Irish nationalism when it was used by the United Irishmen. This was a republican organization—led mostly by Protestants but with many Catholic members—who launched a rebellion in 1798 against British rule. The phrase "wearing of the green" comes from a song of the same name, which laments United Irishmen supporters being persecuted for wearing green. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the colour green and its association with Saint Patrick's Day grew.

ഒരു ക്രിസ്മസ് ഗാനം - Lyrics for THARAKANGALE THAZHE VANNUVO , താരകങ്ങളെ താഴെവന്നുവോ ..


നല്ല ഒരു ക്രിസ്മസ് ഗാനം . ഈ കഴിഞ്ഞ ക്രിസ്മസ് ആഘോഷത്തിൽ എനിക്ക് പാടി ഒന്നാം സ്ഥാനം കിട്ടിയ പാട്ട് ആണ് ഇത് . വരികൾ ചുവടെ ചേർക്കുന്നു 

""താരകങ്ങളെ താഴെവന്നുവോ ..
താമരപൂവ് പോലൊരു കുഞ്ഞായി താഴെഇറങ്ങി വന്നുവോ .....
താരാട്ടു പാടാം തലോലമാട്ടം ........ താരകങ്ങളെ ........
ഉലകിൽ പ്രഭാത സൂര്യൻ പോൽ , മനസ്സിൽ തെളിഞ്ഞ ദീപം നീ .
പാരിൽ പ്രകാശ ഗോപുരമായി പ്രഭ തൂകുന്നൊരു ജ്യോതിസേ ...
കൂരിരുൾ മറഞ്ഞു പോയി
നിറഞ്ഞു വേണ്‍ മേഘങ്ങൾ ...2

താരകങ്ങളെ താഴെവന്നുവോ ..
താമരപൂവ് പോലൊരു കുഞ്ഞായി താഴെഇറങ്ങി വന്നുവോ .....
താരാട്ടു പാടാം തലോലമാട്ടം ........ താരകങ്ങളെ ........

മരുവിൽ തുറനോരുറവയതായി  മനസ്സിൽ കുള്ളിർമയാം അരുവി
തെളിനീർ കണങ്ങളായി വന്നു, ഒഴുക്കി നിറഞ്ഞെങ്ങും ആനന്ദമായി
ദാഹമിന്നു അകന്നുപോയി നിറഞ്ഞു ഇന്നെൻ ഉള്ളം...2 

താരകങ്ങളെ താഴെവന്നുവോ ..
താമരപൂവ് പോലൊരു കുഞ്ഞായി താഴെഇറങ്ങി വന്നുവോ .....
താരാട്ടു പാടാം തലോലമാട്ടം ........ താരകങ്ങളെ ........"""
