YET
YET AGAIN. WELCOME BACK TO THE BUYING. YOU KNOW TODAY IS ST. PATRICK'S DAY AND IT'S DATA
IT'S JUST ROOTED IN TRADITION
FROM THINGS LIKE LEPRECHAUNS TO
GETTING PINCHED IF YOU DON'T
WEAR GREEN MAKING SURE HANNAH
IS THAT GREEN YOU HAVE VIAN AND
MAKING SURE BUT WHERE DID THESE
TRADITIONS ACTUALLY COME FROM?
HANNAH WILLIAMS IS JOINING ME
NOW TO GIVE US A LITTLE HISTORY
LESSON. HEY, GOOD MORNING,
HANNAH. HEY
>>, ASHLEY . YEAH, I DO HAVE A
LITTLE GREEN ON MY NAILS OR
GREEN AS WELL. HAPPY ST.
PATRICK'S. I WILL. TODAY IS NOW
ASSOCIATED WITH WEARING GREEN
PARADES AND BEER BUT THIS
HOLIDAY IS GROUNDED IN HISTORY
THAT DATES BACK MORE THAN
FIFTEEN HUNDRED YEARS. THE
EARLIEST KNOWN CELEBRATIONS
WERE HELD IN THE SEVENTEENTH
CENTURY ON MARCH 17TH MARKING
THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH
OF ST. PATRICK IN THE FIFTH
CENTURY. BUT WHY DON'T WE
CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK'S DAY? SO
ACCORDING TO THRILLIST DOTCOM
MARCH 17TH IS A DAY WHICH ST.
PATRICK OR FORMERLY KNOWN AS
MARWIN SUCCOT WAS THOUGHT TO
HAVE DIED. HE INFORMALLY WAS
CONSIDERED A PATRON SAINT
OF IRELAND AND WHERE HE
BAPTIZED THOUSANDS OF IRISH
PEOPLE AND AIDED INFORMATION
OF HUNDREDS OF CHURCHES. SO HE
WAS A HUGE FORCE IN BRINGING
CHRISTIANITY TO IRELAND. THIS
DAY WAS INSTITUTED TO
COMMEMORATE HIS LIFE AND
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND BY NINETEEN
THREE FACE DAY WAS A NATIONAL
HOLIDAY BACK IN IRELAND AND I
ALWAYS ENJOYED THIS HOLIDAY
ACTUALLY I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED
GETTING TO PICK OUT MY GREEN
OUTFIT AND SADLY LAST YEAR
CORONAVIRUS HAD JUST HIT AND I
DIDN'T GET TO WEAR GREEN
ANYWHERE. YEAH I KNOW
>> IT'S ONE OF THOSE HOLIDAYS
JUST KIND OF COMES OUT
OF NOWHERE SO YOU GET EXCITED
YOU'RE LIKE OH YEAH WE GET TO
SAY ST. PATRICK'S DAYS HERE. WE
GET TO CELEBRATE THAT RIGHT NOW
YOU KIND OF FORGET IT SNEAKS UP
ON YOU. SO IT HAS BEEN FUN IN
THE PAST, ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS
IN COLLEGE. YOU KNOW YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT BEER AND THEN YOU
GO FIND THAT GREEN BEER. BUT
YEAH, NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE
LUCKY AT MY HOUSE WE CELEBRATE
ANYTHING TONIGHT MAYBE SOME
GREEN FOOD. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO
THE GROCERY STORE IN A WHILE SO
I PROBABLY HAVE SOME GREEN
BREAD IN THERE SOMEWHERE
>>. SOME GREEN YES. MAYBE HOW
WE CELEBRATE BUT YOU KNOW IT'S
WIDELY KNOWN EXACTLY. IT'S
WIDELY KNOWN THAT WE HAVE TO
WEAR GREEN ON ST. PATRICK'S
DAY. BUT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT
ABOUT WHY ACCORDING TO
THRILLIST DOTCOM AGAIN THE LINK
BETWEEN GREEN AND IRISH PRIDE
ORIGINATED IN THE IRISH
REBELLION OF 1790 AS THE IRISH
REBELLED AGAINST THE BRITISH
SOLDIERS WHO WORRIED THEY
ORDERING UNIFORMS AS A SIGN
OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE
REBELLION. PEOPLE BEGAN WEARING
GREEN AS AN EXPRESSION OF IRISH
PRIDE SINCE ST. PATRICK'S DAY
WAS THE OFFICIAL DAY TO EXPRESS
THAT BROUGHT THE TWO BECAME
LINKED AND I ENJOY IT BECAUSE I
NEVER ACTUALLY WEAR GREEN.
GREEN IS NOT JUST REALLY MY
COLOR SO I ENJOY GETTING TO
FIND THE CUTE LITTLE OUTFITS
THAT T SHIRTS AT WAL-MART OR
WHEREVER TO CELEBRATE A
HOLIDAY. YEAH, A LOT OF US
DON'T REALLY THINK ABOUT WHY
WE'RE DOING IT. WE JUST KNOW
IT'S A TRADITION SO WE PUT OUR
GREEN ON AND LOOK FOR THOSE
THAT ARE NOT WHERE IT IS SO WE
CAN PINCH THEM EXACTLY
>>. WELL OF COURSE WITH THAT
PINCH, YOU KNOW IT'S THE MOST
DREADED PART OF THIS HOLIDAY. I
KNOW IT IS FOR ME BUT YOU KNOW,
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T WEAR
GREEN, HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD AS
YOU PROBABLY LEARN THE HARD WAY
IN MIDDLE SCHOOL THOSE WHO
DON'T WEAR GREEN ON ST.
PATRICK'S DAY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR
PINCHES THAT RANGE FROM A
FLIRTATIOUS OR EVEN MALICIOUS
>>. ONE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT
THE HOLIDAY IS IS ABOUT TAKING
PRIDE IN ONE OF IRISH HERITAGES
AND THE POTENTIAL PINCHE
ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO BE BOLD
ABOUT THEIR IRISHNESS. THE
SECOND REASON IS LEPRECHAUN.
THE MISCHIEVOUS MYTHICAL
CREATURES ARE RUMORED TO PINCH
THOSE WHO AREN'T WEARING GREEN
.BUT THAT NONEXISTENCE MAKES
IT FAR MORE LIKELY THAT YOU'LL
BE PINCHED BY AN 11 YEAR OLD.
AND I KNOW I DREADED THIS DAY
WHEN I WAS IN JUNIOR HIGH
INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL BECAUSE
EVEN THOUGH I WAS WEARING GREEN
THAT DIDN'T STOP ANYBODY FROM
TRYING TO PAINT. YEAH, I KNOW I
FEEL LIKE I WAS ALWAYS THE ONE
THAT FORGOT TO ACTUALLY WEAR
GREEN ON THAT DAY BUT I DO HAVE
ON A LITTLE BRACELET TODAY WITH
GREEN ON IT ACTUALLY TWO AND
ONE OF THEM SAYS PINCH PLUS
WITH THIS SHIRT ON NOT
EXPECTING ANYONE TO PINCH ME
TODAY I'M REALLY JUST EXPECTING
EVERYONE TO PAY ATTENTION TO
THE WEATHER FOR YOU GUYS MORE
THAN ANYTHING THAT'S LIKE
FOREFRONT ON OUR MINDS. I KNOW.
THANK YOU HANNAH. THAT IT'S
INTERESTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
WHY WE DO
