We Celebrate St. Paddy's Day
Published: Mar 18, 2008

We don't know how you celebrated St. Paddy's Day, but our day ranged from the green beads/silly green hat/green beer experience to the richly moving remembrance of our courageous forebears whose struggles are carved in stone at the Irish Memorial in Philadelphia. From the wild Shamrockery of local group Blackthorn, to the old world fiddling of Danny Meehan of Donegal. From an Italian cook's version of corned beef and cabbage (yum) to an Irish take on the traditional meal (your choice of beef, ham, or turkey, plus the cabbage).

However you did it, we hope you had as good a time as we did. Check out our photos:

An added treat: Celtic group Dervish appeared the Friday before St. Paddy's Day at the Sellersville Theater. Photographer Gwyneth MacArthur was there. Here's what she saw:

 

Great photos from the Irish

Great photos from the Irish Center, Denise! It was wonderful to have all of the families there that day, a true Irish hooley!
