Ireland's Fabulous History
In 1177 John Lackland was announced lord of Ireland. The Irish Parliament was formally ended in 1801 and Ireland became a part of the United Kingdom. Many Irish folks are catholic and catholics were not granted full right until 1829. After the Irish war of independence a large section of Ireland brooke of from the United Kingdom and became known as Irish Free State. Ireland was amazing then and is still amazing now.
The Culture of Ireland
"Ireland's national holiday is St. Patrick's Day, celebrated on March 17. St. Patrick is Ireland's saint and his feast day has become a special occasion, not only for Irish people but for many other people as well, for thousands of people In Ireland, the day begins with church services. Later in the day, parades are held all over. The principal parade takes place in Dublin. Easter Sunday is celebrated with church services, followed by festive family meals. Children boil and decorate eggs and have contests to see who can eat the most eggs." as the website says.
