For people who don't know this celebration, St patrick day is the national day of Ireland (eq of 14 july in France).

This celebration is done in some country where there are many Irish migrants. For exemple, the most important parade for that date takes place at New York. There are almost 5 millions people in the street.

In dublin, there is a big parade. It begins at O'connel street and finishes at St Patrick cathedral. There are many floats. They looks like a thematic different every year. This year it's "Extraordinary World". It's really look like the carnival.

This day, you should wear something green.

-----------------------------------------

Pour les gens qui ne connaissent pas cette fête, le jour de Saint patrick est la fête nationale irlandaise (équivalent au 14 juillet en France).

Cette fête a lieu dans différent pays où il y a beaucoup d'émigré irlandais. Par exemple, la parade la plus importante a lieu à New York. Il y a presque 5 millions de personnes dans les rues.

A dubliin, il y 'a une grande parade. Ca commence à O'Connel street et finit à la cathédrale Saint Patrick. Il y'a beaucoup de chars. Ils suivent une thématique différente tous les ans. Cette année, c'est "Monde extraordinaire". Ca ressemble vraiment au carnaval.

Ce jour là, vous devez porter quelque chose vert.

 Yes, I know, although in France there is nothing special in that occasion. Except, of course in Irish pubs. In Paris, there are some, such as Corcoran's. You drink much beer, and eat Irish stew and fish and ships. In Eire, where did you live, Fabien, and in France ?

Read you soon,

Nicole

In Eire I live at Dublin, the capital. It's a cosmopolitan city. There are people from very different places.

Currently, except Irish people, many people come from Poland. It's not rare to heard French, Spanish, Italian, German when you go to the city centre.

In France, I lived in the south at Montélimar. And you, where do you come from ?

 Oh ! C'est bizarre. Je pensais vous avoir envoyé un message et je ne le trouve plus. Peut-être ai-je mal validé.

C'était une piste de lecture, en Français, une nouvelle de Pierre Michon, sur Saint Patrick, dans "Mythologies d'hiver".Je disais n'être pas sûre que vous aimeriez, mais "in any case".

Be good,

Nicole

I'm sorry. I have verified I haven't received any message. As you thought, you probably have had to have (I am not sure it's correct) an issue when you validated the message.

A short story about St patrick ? that's sounds interesting. I would be very happy if you could send it again.

Regards,

Fabien

 A merry Saint  Patrick's day ! My first message did'nt tell more than the last one, my dear Fabien. Pierre Michon is a contempory writer and you can find lots of things about him on line, even an interesting interview about his last book "les Onze" on Youtube. The short novel to which I refer was printed in 1997, by Editions Verdier, under the title "Mythologies d'hiver".

The action takes place from Ireland to the Cévennes. In the first novel called "Ferveur de Brigid" I see  a strong interface between the pagan world and christianism. The former is embodied by an old king and his (gorgeous) daughters, while the later is embodied by Saint Patrick, already aged, coming to evangelize…

I don't want to tell more…

Unexpectedly, this track for reading was given me by a Spanish mail pen-friend ! as often, foreigners know better than us our litterature !
