This is Ireland's immigrant culture and a symbol of Ireland's luck.

Every March 17, you can see a green ocean in Ireland, Britain, America and other places where there are Irish people in the world. It turns out that this is to celebrate the Irish festival-St. Patrick's Day. St Patrick, born in Wales, England, was kidnapped and sold to Ireland as a slave in the 5th century. During his seven years as a slave, he experienced various hardships, which strengthened his belief. Therefore, when he regained his freedom, he decided to stay in Ireland to preach. St Patrick built schools, churches and monasteries all over Ireland, and introduced Christianity to Ireland, which made Irish people begin to believe in Christianity. He also killed all the poisonous snakes on the island for Ireland, so there were still no snakes in Ireland. Because of his painful experience as a slave as a child, he strongly abolished slavery, so St. Patrick was deeply loved by the Irish people.

The Irish designated the date of his death 17 March as St. Patrick's Day, and St. Patrick's Day was also named the patron saint of Ireland. There are many stories about him, including that he explained the concept of "trinity" of Christianity to Irish pagans with clover distance, so clover and green gradually became the symbols of Ireland.

The original St. Patrick's Day was a serious religious anniversary, and most people celebrated it by going to church to watch mass. After World War II, St. Patrick's Day was welcomed by Americans, adding elements of art, culture and entertainment, and turned into a carnival. On St Patrick's Day, as long as there are a large number of Irish people, people can be seen wearing green clothes and clover ornaments, taking to the streets * or celebrating in bars. In addition to the carnival-like luck in Dublin in spring, St Patrick's luck is indispensable in major cities and even famous towns. Interestingly, the shortest Irish St Patrick's Day is located in the west of Derippe, only 9 1 m, which is the distance between two houses in the village. Secondly, besides *, there are several days of festivals and activities to encourage people to talk about Ireland and Ireland. It is not an exaggeration to call it "Ireland's National Day".

However, in recent years, some churches and others have criticized the celebration of St. Patrick's Day for being too secular and commercialized, and the carnival celebration has also made people's impression of Ireland biased. Ireland was a Catholic country before St Patrick introduced Christianity to Ireland. At present, more than 70% of Irish people are Roman Catholics.

The Catholic Church has a great influence on Irish society, but with the passage of time, contemporary Irish society has become more secular and diversified. Nowadays, the influence of Catholicism in politics, education, health and other aspects has been greatly reduced. Many Irish people no longer attend mass every week and even reject outdated parts of their teachings. In last year's same-sex marriage referendum, 66% of Catholics supported the right to same-sex marriage. The weakening influence of Catholicism on Irish people can also be said to be a reflection of social progress.

From Celtic Myth to Irish Literature

Speaking of religion, I have to mention Irish myths and legends. As a branch of Celtic deepening, Irish mythology is full of gods, heroes, wars and adventures. These myths played an important role in the artistic creation of Irish nationalist movement.

During the Irish Renaissance in the early 20th century, the poet Ye Zhi once wrote many plays and poems around Irish mythology, and the mythical hero Ku Lin Hu was one of his protagonists. During the same period, Mrs Gregor also wrote novels based on the story of Ku Lin Hu. 1904, Ye Zhi and Mrs. Graves founded Abbey Theatre, which is a symbol of the development of Irish local drama art. At the beginning of its establishment, this Dublin Theatre staged many plays set in Ireland. These plays are full of Irish local flavor from subject matter to language. This also made Ireland a cultural colony of Britain from cultural independence.

Ireland's unique culture has attracted many immigrants, and Ireland also respects China's culture very much, and the culture is very inclusive; Ireland is expected to add Chinese to the college entrance examination in 2020 and set up Confucius Institutes in middle and primary schools. The Confucius Institute at Dublin University holds activities every year to promote cultural exchanges between the two countries and strengthen bilingual education for students.

There are two ways to immigrate to Ireland at present. One is the Irish investment immigration project-donation project, which is very stable, risk-free and high. It is a one-time donation of 500,000 euros to a charity designated by the government (400,000 euros can be donated if the group donates successfully), and the permanent residence project can be obtained in one step, with no requirements for language, physical examination and management experience;

The other is to send entrepreneurial immigrants. The domestic parent company sent the applicant to Ireland to set up a subsidiary and operate it. The initial investment is only about 250,000 RMB, which is suitable for customers who really have entrepreneurial ideas. They can enjoy most of the local benefits by logging in, and their children and spouses can also take them with them! Two cost-effective investment methods, Ireland, you deserve it!
