Welcome to today’s episode, where we’re exploring the traditions of St. Patrick’s Day—not just the parades and green beer you might be familiar with, but the genuine customs that have been honored in Ireland for centuries. St. Patrick’s Day has a long and meaningful history, deeply rooted in faith, heritage, and community. If you have Irish ancestry, these traditions connect you to the lives of those who came before you. Even if you’re not Irish, understanding how this day has been celebrated through the years offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the world’s most widely recognized holidays.

And, of course, there’s the tradition most of us learned in grade school—the rule that if you don’t wear green, you’re getting pinched. I learned that the hard way as a kid. One year, I forgot to wear green, and I spent the whole day getting pinched—mostly by the girls in my class. You only make that mistake once!

Let’s take a closer look at the real St. Patrick’s Day—its origins, its customs, and how it has been observed in Ireland past and present.
