Thinking of celebrating St. George’s Day in place of St. Patrick’s Day this year in hellenized, Anglophone Irish acknowledgment of Cromwell’s conquest

being Irish means rejecting other peoples and their saints and totems and falling into a deep green bog while you strum a harp

being British means you get to assimilate them all and have like floral arrangements of roses, thistles, daffodils and shamrocks all at the same time, maybe wear a kilt, play a medley of tunes from throughout the archipelago etc.

\n

The monasteries being established so far back Catholicism entire doesn’t count as “other peoples and their saints and totems”, though
