St. Patrick's Day Renews Spirit of Return St. Patrick's Day Renews Spirit of ReturnBy C. Austin The tides of March are upon us once again. The vernal equinox willtilt our world toward spring at 11:50 PM PDT on March 19. Thecelebration of St. Patrick's Day, equinox and Easter combine thismonth to bring us a hearty reminder of renewal and return.St. Patrick's Day on March 17 is a festival of all things Irish.Though named for a man named Patrick who led a Christian mission toIreland in about 450 AD, St. Patrick's Day in our time has much to dowith the tenacity of the Irish spirit and the appeal of Irish culture.In 1845 a highly infectious, fungus-like pathogen calledPhytophthora infestans (commonly known as "Late Blight") changed thecourse of Irish history. In the mid-1800's Ireland was a generallypoor country that supported a population of about eight million,one-third of which was either entirely or significantly dependent onthe cultivation of potatoes as a staple food. By 1901, after theFamine era, the population had fallen to four million.The crop failure that occurred during 1845 coincided with a periodof Irish population growth as well as economic stagnation. The potatofailure of 1845 should not have had a lasting effect on Ireland.However, the lack of effective intervention by Irish landlords,merchants and most importantly, the British government, transformedthe crop failure of 1845 into a famine known as An Gorta Mor (theGreat Hunger).Successive crop failures between 1845 and 1851 and an inability orunwillingness to provide assistance to the poor and destitute broughtunimaginable pain, disease or death to over two million souls who fledinto Ireland's underworld arms or sailed beyond the ninth wave to finda new life in countries such as America and Canada. Tragically, manyof those seeking to escape the famine died on disease-ridden vesselsknown as "coffin ships."Ironically, the pathogen that caused the potato famine itself camefrom the America's (central Mexico) and traveled across the Atlanticto Belgium where it began its deadly devastation of European potatofields in 1843. The ravages of poverty, pestilence and politicspermanently changed the lives of those who call themselves Irish.Millions of people fled Ireland's broken hearth during and in theyears following the Great Hunger. Carrying their culture and theirconnectedness with them, these immigrants took up residence all overthe world. The fortune, political clout and identity forged by theseimmigrant populations abroad has served to sustain their ties withIreland. Whether or not the descendents of these immigrant familiesever physically returned to Ireland is not of consequence. As Irelandturns, so turn her people, wherever they live.Despite the sentimentality of the occasion, it is telling that onMarch 17 of each year, "all the world is Irish" - there are nocelebrations of similar magnitude of other immigrant populations.With no geographic borders the Irish psyche remains connected overboundless space and time.March is indeed a time of return - the return of thoughts to theman Patrick who bravely carried out his Irish mission despite greathardship. For many, so also returns faith - in a mythological saintwho assailed the creatures and characters of another time to bringmonotheism to Ireland. But to all of those living beyond Ireland, tothe descendents of the Irish Diaspora, our thoughts of admiration,courage and appreciation return to those who are responsible for thelives we lead and the character that we can call our own.Spring is again with us - may the sun shine warmly in your heartand inspire the creativity of the next new season of our lives.Wheel of the Year |
