Good Gracious, St Patrick’s Day?
Dear Editor,
Really? Really? Did my eyes deceive me or did I see a call in Guyana by Guyanese to come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? St. Patrick’s Day is an Irish celebration.
Certainly this must have been by and for the over overwhelmingly large contingent of Irish residing in Guyana.
If not, then God help us. Are we that hard up for a party that we are just pulling holidays out of the air? What is the connection between Guyana, Ireland and St. Patrick? Who was St. Patrick? What did he do? I wonder if these “celebrates” can tell me this without going and Google it. The things that Guyanese should be emulating from the developed world, they are not. It is sad.
Why am I ranting about this? Maybe the Irish in Ireland had a good time when they celebrated Mashramani.
I feel the same way about Halloween.
Talk Half and Hope Guyanese emulate the right things.
