patron in 1766
Those loyal Nebraska Irish stu
dents who are at a loss to know
how to celet ate St. Patrick's day
today might take a tip from a
group of their ancestors who cele
brated the day in New York City
174 years ago.
According to a report of the
festivities in the New York Ga
zette of 176G, "Monday last being
the Day of St. Patrick, titular
Saint of Ireland, was ushered in
at Dawn with Fifes and Drums
which produced a very agreeable
Harmony before the Doors of
many Gentlemen of that Nation
and others."
The news flash stated that
many loyal Irishmen gathered
around the tavern fire and drank
a number of toasts (20 to be ex
act). The Gazette recorded the
19th toast as follows: "May the
enemies of Ireland never eat the
bread or drink the whiskey of it,
but be tormented with Itching,
without the benefit of Scratch
ing." More In keeping with the life of
this great Irish Saint is the three
day pilgrimage that many people
all over the world make to the
Island in Lough Derg where St.
Patrick went through "Purgatory"
for 40 days and nights. These pll
grlris fast on bread and black
tea, walk barefoot over harsh
stones, pray all day, and watch
