St Patricks Day

St Patricks Day is an Irish day of celebration.
Saint Patrick was the patron saint and national apostle of and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. He is believed to have been born in the late fourth century and to have died on the 17 of March.
The Irish people across the world celebrate with parades, "wearing of the green," the Irish flags, music and songs, Irish food and drink.

Brisbane’s version of this parade went through the city on this Saturday. On its way through the city it passed our building. And of course we watched it. It was very much as the Cortège in Gothenburg. There were floats, marching bands, dancers and fire trucks.


Here is Patrik watching the parade.

Jolly green Irish.

An old steam truck as the final number.
