Saint Patrick’s Day is a well-known cultural and religious feast held on
17 March in order to celebrate the saint patron of Ireland. Although the celebration
originally was set to commemorate the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, it
now became popular all over the world. It is believed that, according to the
legend, Saint Patrick explained the idea of Holy Trinity to the pagans, by using
the three-leaved shamrock. That is why the official color of the feast is
green. Celebrations involves parades and festivals of Irish folk music. The
biggest one is held in Dublin and lasts few days. But the most impressive one
is the one in Chicago where the whole river is being dyed green. Everything
becomes green on St. Patrick’s day: the Fountain in front the White House, The
London Eye, Empire State Building, Niagara Falls, even the Palace of Culture
and Science in Warsaw. According to the statistics each year, worldwide consumption
of Guinness equals 13 million pints.
It’s the last call for everyone who’s interested in visiting the Frida Kahlo exhibition in Poznań. It will be held until 21 st of January in Centrum Kultury ZAMEK in Poznań. The exhibition is there from September and has so far attracted a lot of visitors from all around the country. The organiser of the event says that that’s the first and only exhibition of Kahlo’s and Diego Rivera’s works with the “polish accent” (barely known polish thread concerning their artistic creation). You can purchase the tickets online or directly at the museum, but please consider that there’s a big likelihood of crowds, specially during the last weekend. For any further information, you can contact the official website.
