33、h in the fifth century. Legend has it that this patron saint had given a sermon from a hilltop that drove all the snakes from Ireland. He also used the three-leafed shamrock to represent the Trinity-how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity-

34、and converted the pagans to Christianity. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for hundreds of years. People wear green in memory of the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks.The first St. Patricks Day parade, however, took place not in Ireland, but in the United States. Irish soldiers

35、serving in the English military marched through New York City on March 17, 1762. Along with their music, the parade helped the soldiers, as well as fellow Irishmen serving in the English army, to reconnect with their Irish roots.Over the next thirty-five years, Irish patriotism among American immigr

36、ants flourished, prompting the rise of so-called “Irish Aid“ societies, like the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick and the Hibernian Society. Each group would hold annual parades featuring bagpipes (which actually first became popular in the Scottish and English armies) and drums.Up until the mid-ninet

37、eenth century, most Irish immigrants in America were members of the Protestant middle class.

38、y the American Protestant majority, the immigrants had trouble finding even menial jobs. When Irish Americans in the countrys cities took to the streets on St. Patricks Day to celebrate their heritage, newspapers portrayed them in cartoons as drunk, violent monkeys.However, the Irish soon began to r

39、ealize that their great numbers endowed them with a political power that had yet to be exploited. They started to organize, and their voting block, known as the “green machine,“ became an important swing vote for political hopefuls. Suddenly, annual St. Patricks Day parades became a show of strength

40、 for Irish Americans, as well as a must-attend event for a slew of political candidates. In 1948, President Truman attended New York Citys St. Patricks Day parade, a proud moment for the many Irish whose ancestors had to fight stereotypes and racial prejudice to find acceptance in America.（分数：10.00）
