Some interesting facts about St. Patrick’s Day: St. Patrick’s Origin: Despite being the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick was actually born in Britain. He was captured into slavery and taken to Ireland, where he later returned as a Christian missionary. No Snakes in Ireland: The story of St. Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland is a myth. In reality, Ireland has never had any native snake species to begin with. Leprechauns and Fairies: The leprechaun, often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, is derived from Celtic folklore. These ‘small-bodied fellows’ were believed to be fairies and were known for their shoemaking skills. “The Luck of the Irish” is a phrase that originally emerged in America during the gold and silver rush eras, when Irish miners were often successful in their endeavors. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not an old Irish saying but an American one, and it was initially used in a somewhat derogatory way to attribute the Irish miners’ successes to luck rather than their hard work. Over time, the phrase has taken on a more positive connotation, celebrating the Irish for their perceived good fortune and resilience, especially in the face of adversity. Today, it’s commonly used to express good luck and is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Happy Monday!! 😀 It's COLUMBUS DAY!! Columbus Day on the second Monday in October is observed in the United States each year. The day signifies Christopher Columbus’ arrival to America on October 12, 1492. #ColumbusDay Christopher Columbus was long given credit for discovering North America. However, long before Columbus was born (1451-1506), Leif Erikson landed on these shores. The Italian-born explorer did sail across the Atlantic, though, and more than once. In fact, he made four transatlantic voyages. His first was in 1492. Hence the rhyme, "In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue." LEARN MORE: During the 1492 expedition, Columbus was looking for Asia. He and his crew landed their three ships somewhere near the modern-day Bahamas🏝. While he may not have discovered an already populated continent, he did spur further exploration and colonization of North America. HOW TO OBSERVE COLUMBUS DAY: Learn more about Christopher Columbus and his voyages. Use #ColumbusDay to post on social media. COLUMBUS DAY HISTORY: Colorado first observed Columbus Day in 1906 as it became an official state holiday. More and more people and states began to recognize the observance. In 1937, Columbus Day became a federal holiday in the United States. Many instances of people observing Columbus’ voyage🗺 exist since the colonial period. In 1792, celebrations recognizing the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World🌎 took place in New York City and other US cities. President Benjamin Harrison called upon the people of the United States to join in the celebration of Columbus on the 400th anniversary of the event. During the anniversary of 1892, teachers, preachers, poets, and politicians used the day to teach ideals of patriotism. These patriotic teachings were framed around themes of support for war, citizenship boundaries, the importance of loyalty to the nation, and celebrating social progress. #naplumbingllc #northamericanplumbing #masterplumber #repairs #toilets #sinks #showers #bathtubs #kitchens #bathrooms #pipes #disposals #sinkerator #quality #meridianville #toney #hamptoncove #madison #huntsville #hazelgreen

Let’s celebrate the many Ethnicities that built this Nation. As far as “Happy Columbus Day” that depends on one’s Perspective. Excerpt from Zinn’s book: Zinn is certainly interested in overturning the popular mythology surrounding Christopher Columbus, and he is unsparing in his condemnation of the famous explorer's treatment of the Arawaks. Indeed, he describes Columbus's policy as that of genocide, driven by a desire to squeeze as much wealth as he could from the inhabitants of the Indies. But as Zinn says, the point is not to, "in telling history, accuse, judge, condemn Columbus in absentia." In the chapter on Columbus, which also serves as the introduction to A People's History, Zinn is interested in making two broader arguments using Columbus. The first is that the "quiet acceptance of conquest and murder in the name of progress," which he detects in the works of Columbus historians like Samuel Eliot Morison, is "deadly," because it makes it easier to forgive such acts in our own time. The second, historiographical point, is that Columbus's apologists are typical of historians who view history only from the perspective of "governments, conquerors, diplomats, leaders" and other powerful figures and institutions. Zinn's aim is, of course, to turn this narrative on its head, emphasizing the perspective of common people. From this point of view, Columbus appears not as a conquering hero, but as a man who ushered in a disastrous series of events for Native Americans.
Ohio wouldn't be what it is today without contributions from so many hardworking Italian-Americans who made our state their home. Happy Columbus Day!

November holds a special significance in the #USA as a month dedicated not only to expressing gratitude, but also to honoring and celebrating Native American Heritage. Designated as #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, this period serves as an opportunity to delve into the rich history, diverse cultures, and enduring contributions of #NativeAmerican peoples. In the spirit of recognizing and commemorating Native American Heritage Month, we want to shine a spotlight on Brian McKenna's impactful show, Chiefs. Chiefs is a six-part series from Multicom Entertainment Group, Inc. that intricately explores the lives of the great leaders, #warriors, and diplomats of the #FirstNations, whose stories form a central drama of the North American continent. Combining #documentary elements with dramatic reenactments, the #series vividly brings to life the power, spirit, and mystery of the First Nations while also seeking to separate myth from reality. You can learn more about it below or watch it now at TheArchive.tv here: https://lnkd.in/gq7xizgN As Americans gather around the #Thanksgiving table, it's crucial to recognize that for many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of sorrow and activism. The #holiday, commemorating the arrival of settlers in North America and the subsequent centuries of #oppression and #genocide, prompts reflection on a more nuanced history. The myth of #Thanksgiving implies a harmonious gathering between #Native people and pilgrims to celebrate the #Plymouth colony's survival. However, the reality of the "First Thanksgiving" in 1621 is more complex. Native people were not initially invited, and Wampanoag soldiers independently arrived after hearing celebratory gunshots and screams from #pilgrim settlements. #americanindian #thearchive #multicom #streaming #entertainment #november
