And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:
Question: What year was the first EVER St. Patrick’s Day Parade?
Answer: 1762
Note: The world’s first recorded St. Patrick’s Day parade took place in New York City on March 17, 1762, held by Irish soldiers serving in the British army. It was a special opportunity to revel in Irish pride by wearing green—which was banned in England at the time—while freely speaking Irish and singing and playing along with Irish music.
Class:
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

Fact: St Patrick was born in the year 385 in Romanized Britain to a Romanized family. He was captured by Irish raiders and carried into slavery in Ireland at age 16. He escaped after 6 years and returned to his family but went back after a dream where the Irish begged him to come back to them to bring Christianity to the Irish.
