ERIN GO BRAUGH!
LONG LIVE IRELAND!
For the very first time ever I joined into the celebration.Wasnt easy gained as the day started with snow again and it didnt look like it would ever stop. BUT:
It did!
Our Irish and many of the Munich's International Community led the way.
It was fab.
So much FUN.
More of a slow walk ....
Patrick, a British boy who got enslaved by the Irish,
returned after several years of shepharding
to the place of origin. Here he had a vision
which he describes:
"I saw a man coming, as it were from Ireland. His name was Victoricus, and he carried many letters, and he gave me one of them. I read the heading: "The Voice of the Irish". As I began the letter, I imagined in that moment that I heard the voice of those very people who were near the wood of Foclut, which is beside the western sea—and they cried out, as with one voice: "We appeal to you, holy servant boy, to come and walk among us."
Strict according to etiquette: First St. Patrick, followed by the carriage of the Irish Consul to Munich and the Mayor of Munich ;-))
I loved this dog. What do you think?
Happy for all of the particpants that the snow
stopped and the instruments and dances didnt
get disturbed. The cold however was bone creeping.
Irish Celts, the descendants of my ancestors:
The Celts of central "Europe."
The kids of the Irish School in Munich had FUN!
Green whereever you look!
Today it isnt meant environmentally!
Medley of moments!
Look at the shoes / middle top pic!
;-)))
