Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Like an Irishman.
Step 1: Dress in a little green
Dress in a little green-emphasis on little. Dubliners don’t go around wrapped head-to-toe in green with 'Kiss me, I’m Irish' buttons and plastic bowler hats. A splash of green is all you need.
Tip
Go ahead and pinch anyone who’s not wearing any green; that’s a time-honored tradition in Ireland.
Step 2: Go to church
Go to church. Yes, you heard us. The traditional way to honor good old St. Patrick is by attending morning Mass in his honor. At the very least, pop into a house of worship and say a prayer for someone.
Step 3: Greet everyone
Greet everyone you meet with a cheery, 'Beannachta na File Pdraig oraibh' which means, 'St. Patrick’s Day blessing upon you.' Try saying that after a few Irish whiskeys!
Step 4: Bake a real Irish soda bread
Forget those sweet, cake-like loaves that pass as Irish soda bread here in the States. Find a recipe for the real thing, which is made with flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk-no butter, eggs, or raisins. Serve with lots of salted butter.
Step 5: Make a stew
While we’re on the subject of food, ditch the corned beef and cabbage and make a lamb stew instead. Or have some Atlantic salmon. Both are more Irish than corned beef, which is a decidedly American-Irish dish.
Step 6: Forget the green beer
Forget the green beer-to get it green, you have to drink the pale stuff, which isn’t nearly as traditional as ordering a glass of dark, robust Guinness.
Tip
When you raise your glass of Guinness, say 'slainte' (pronounced 'slawnche') Gaelic for 'to your health.'
Step 7: Spend family time
Spend some time with your family. St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland is akin to Thanksgiving Day in America, with the family counting their blessings together. They even play football! Well, actually it’s a combination of soccer and rugby, but it’s called Gaelic football.
Step 8: Make a wish
Make a wish on a four-leaf clover-or cast a love spell by thinking of someone while swallowing a four-leaf clover. It’s also said that if you tuck one in the heel of your left shoe, you’ll marry the first person who enters the room. But that seems kind of risky to us.
Did You Know?
Americans who claim to be of Irish descent now number more than 34 million-which is more than eight times the population of Ireland today.

I'm born on St- Patrick's Day!!! Freakin awesome!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from Chicago!!
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate alone. You gotta mix it with an acid for it to bubble and make bread rise. Baking powder has sodium bicarb too, but cream of tartar has been added for acidity. Just add water to make it bubble. Aren't you glad you asked?
Aaah... a fun video. Thanks for the smiles. Irish blessins to ya.
thanks for custom lesson, pretty cool to learn the stuff. Proud to be Irish. Happy St. Patrick's Day
I love this video God Bless Ireland !
I was over there for St. Patrick's day. They treat it religiously not forgetting Church services. As for Green They say wear a little, we have enough Green here as it is. That's one thing i noticed after flying over the Kerry Mountains, the Green color is just an incredibly vivid color of the countryside.
The lyrics were written by an Englishman (who I think was living in the U.S. at the time) but it's set to a traditional Irish tune called "Londonderry Air." So in a way you can say it's Irish after all.
Many happy returns of the day.
my thoughts exactly!
My mom makes Irish Soda Bread every St.Patricks day...but she's the only one that actually likes it
I always make it a point to have dinner at Outback Steakhouse for St. Patrick's Day just like they do in Australia.
i dont know about the long one but slainte(slawn-cha)-cheers-is always a good one to say
In Ireland, the symbol for the day is the shamrock - a small 3-leaved clover that the man used to illustrate the idea of the Holy Trinity. The 4-leaved clover is a confusion introduced entirely by the Americans and possibly related to the 'luck of the Irish' notion. That's Hallmark for you, I suppose. Other than that (and the Irish pronunciation), this was pretty much on the money.
I am happy that people celebrate my holiday and I was furious to find out that very few stores even had a display or anything to buy. If you want to wear green,pinch, please do...at least you are celebrating
i'm irish and i didn't even do any of these things yesterday.. and no i didn't get pinched, i hadn't even heard of that up until now lol!
omg look at that face when he wakes up! lovely expressions I'd watch it again just for that!
theres a difference, baking powder is a yeast substitute and baking soda is used in toothpaste and stuff, antacid and anti bacterial
Banokta feel padrage a rave!!! His pronunciation is PERFECT!!!
Happy St Patricks Day!
Exactly!
i'm mostly Irish. i also have Native American, German, French, English and a bunch of stuff i couldn't locate on a map, as the countries boundaries and names change each year in that region.
Excellent! what a laugh.... im Irish and its all about havin a laugh at yourself
yeah i had the same thing!! i actually didnt know that corned beef was Irish-American
He might not have been Irish, but he is their patron saint because his "miracles" were performed there.
I couldn't agree more, lad.
Man, that sounds like the best way ever. and I'm a Mexican (a brown Irish, literally), so I can vouch for that.
2:20 best look ever.
I didn't know that St. Patrick's Day was like an American Thanksgiving. That's pretty cool! And as a side note, I am of Irish decent! lol
Been cooking the corned beef overnight and just threw in the baby carrots and cabbage. Tastes bloody good!

Cryaotic Damn, a 9-year old comment. I feel like I’m looking at an ancient relic lol
a perfect answer. Well said
Did u go over and live in Ireland for an amount of time? Because my mum was born and raised in England then moved over to America but I'm not able to get dual citizenship.
There are a lot of Irish-Americans, 34 mill, wouldn't doubt it, During the famine a lot came over here and started their new life. My great grandfather came from Ireland and I was brought up with my father always telling me I'm Irish and nothing else, LOL
2:35 im about 1/16 Irish. i know it as a fact. wish i had more Irish blood in me tho. the Irish have an awesome culture.
@mac899 In response: 1. Ive work something green all my life on Sta Patricks day 2.The Irish Club football finals are on St Patricks day, what are you talking about, its a huge day for GAA? 3. Thats the best way to describe it to an American in 1 sentence. 4. Its a day to spend with your family, and, get hammered 5. I have, and it is a tradition 6. Good point 7. Yanks do.
you always wear some green, atlantic salmon and lamb stew are savage!
ooo i love it when my mom makes traditional irish soda bread XD
this isn't true only the soda bread bit. it's nothing like an equlivent of thanksgiving, it's not really a big deal at all in ireland.
Irish people are cool, no mather what others say. Greatings from Serbia, and have a happy St. Patrick's Day...
You're right about everything but there IS GAA on in Croke, its usually the minors though, but still gets a massive crowd, good banter.
St. Patrick's Day is the best holiday because its a day where the Irish are finally celebrated for something. Go Irish!
that chuby guy just is the best ))
I usualy roled greens in a shwisher sweets! and every st patty's day me and my friend go on and smoke it! and boy i tell ya! it was like hanging out with good ol st patricks himself!
yeah we dont do half of that btw am we play hurling more then football so u should have but that in tiocaidh ar lar
For all you you tubers.I made a new irish saying.May the light always be at your back..dan
He looks like Coach McQuirk on the Home Movies cartoons :() Happy SPD!
paddys day: get up at 11 have a fry and few beers, go to croke park for the fotball and hurling, after go to nearest pub (Quinns) for feed of pints, end up in coppers locked! (and everone who's any craic drinks).
Happy St. Paddy's Day
that is actully true
It did indeed. Thanks.
Beannacht De leat! (God's blessings to you). It indeed is one of the best holidays.
Basically, yes, I have. People who's names are Patrick are commonly called Pat or maybe even Patty.
This is why I like the internet. Someone is always telling the truth.
You do have a right point there. I agree since Scotland didn't join England willingly in 1707 and Ireland didn't join England willingly in 1801. Thanks for pointing that out! :)
From what I have read he was a Roman-Brit. Not sure if though if he was a full on Roman citizen.
Your so right Gaelic is way older than soccer and rugby!!!
From what I read about him, he was a Roman citizen through his father. His name comes from his father's position as a Roman official called a Patrician. According to the history his real name was something like "Succat"....lmao ... if you can believe that. And he was believed to have been originally from Britain, carried off as a slave by Irish raiders. He adopted Ireland as his homeland, and stayed there until hie death.
Happy St. Patricks Day - but forget the four leaf clover it was the three leaf clover that helped St. Patrick to explain the Trinity...
I have known that one for a long time thankfully I am Irish
You did a great video.. I loved it. Cute and professional. Good job....
@mickybo2008 i seriously need to visit ireland, you guys sound like a rite laugh!
This video is 100% IN-ACCURATE
Okay, so what Italian holiday should we celebrate?
well yeah thats it aside from the olden day clothes guinness and i havnt seen that shamrock in the shoe thing but yah thats it
The vid was hilarious but did you hear how he pronounced the Irish that was even more hilarious!!'
happy st patricks day
I have never seen anyone pinching people not wearing green!
I just had a dinner of Corn Beef, Cabbage, and potatoes. Yum Yum! Proud to be Irish!
Of course you have to make your own soda bread! What would Saint Patty's day be without it? :) We've been making Saint Patrick's Day videos too for which beer is best for green beer and a non-alcoholic drink recipe for the kiddos. Check it out, you may like it! With that said, keep up the good work! I love the look on the guy's face when you say "emphasis on little" about his green clothing X)
Lamb Stew FTW!! btw Irish people in america don't usually go through so many painstaking processes as described :p
Wooooot Ireland FTW!!!!!!
LOL..I like it!!! :D
My family has practically no national heritage left. My grandma's Dutch, and she makes good apple pie and that's about it. My other grandma prides herself on her Canadian national heritage!
i love the irish!
LOL. my birthday is today!!!
Doesn't some pronounciation depend on if it's Uster, Munster or Connacht? (I pronounce it like you do though)
Hey Americans take Irish to the extreme! Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day. Even if they don't speak a tongue of Gaelic, and great great great grandmother is from Ireland. My good Friend Jimmie Dolan who is from the motherland told me that St. Patrick's day is amateur night.
corned beef, cabbage and a few spuds is about as Irish as i am (i live in Dublin) yum, yum pigs bum cabbage and potatoes
I'm from Ireland and I can assure you that we all wear ginger wigs and tam o'shanters, dress as leprechauns, play tin whistle players an' all that sort of thing on 'Saint Patty's' day. You Americans, as soon get off the plane at Shannon don't forget to shout "top o' the morning to you" to all of the Irish people you meet for the entire duration of your holiday, that is guaranteed to put a smile on any Irishman's face.
"The days of our kind are numberered. The one God comes to drive out the many gods. The spirits of wood and stream... ...grow silent. It's the way of things. Yes." ~Merlin from the movie Excalibur
mass first then the pub. thats the way its always been.
@KevinS9192 lol brilliant, love the irish and their sense of humor, must be cuz im scottish haha
If you watch more, you'll find they explain that green beer is made from American piss lager and that Guinness is the right stuff, and that Lamb stew or Atlantic Salmon are more typical of Irish food than corned beef (a call back to when Irish maids would steal from the New England boiled in their work kitchens). I can't defend the clothes except that it was a joke. I think actually it dispels stereotypes as well. I think St. Pat's is way bigger in America where the Irish fought for power.
Ever known anyone called Patty as short for Patrick?!
The Howcast icon is kinda like the Smosh icon
What's the name of the song in this video?
a few typos there, im still kinda drunk
Actually they pronounce differently in Connacht than they do in Munster. I would know , I'm from Roscommon.
I'm one sixteenth Irish, and ten sixteenths english, three sixteenths scottish, one sixteenth Polish and one sixteenth Serbian, so i really feel the need to celebrate St Patrick's Day :\
the way we celabrate st patricks day is: Get up about 8am have a nice munch, be well wraped up cos it usually cold out, meet up with all the lads wait outside the offy till it opens, get 1 ltr of vod and a 2ltr bottle of coke. Empty half of the coke down a drain and pour the rest of the vodka into da coke bottle, go down to da parade gulping back da vodka. When the vod is gone approx 2-3pm go to offy for cans. drink them and when they gone go to the chippers for some kebabs.then pub then fights
Yeah my cousin.
I'm not Irish, but let's give it a try . . . :-)
Well made video.
Haha! He acts like that Guinness snuck up on him! Not sure I have any Irish blood but Hey! It's St. Patrick's Day!
somebody said something like "donate money to me on my website" that's what i was talking about ._.
I'm going to need some help memorizing "beannachta file padraig oraibh" ....
Ok im from ireland and this could not be more wrong..
The Irish are awesome!! Go west Ireland!!
and the rest of the day to you :-)
@StrawberryScream179 I know...i just thought I would add that bit of gaelic at the end to get my point across.
