Ua koho ʻia ka mahina ʻo Malaki ma ke ʻano he Mahina Hoʻoilina e hui pū me Saint Patrick's Day, ka lā hoʻomaha ʻāina ʻo Irish i hoʻolauleʻa ʻia ma Malaki 17. Hoʻolaha pinepine ʻia nā mahina hoʻoilina e nā aupuni e hoʻomanaʻo i nā haneli mau makahiki o nā haʻawina i hana ʻia e kahi hui kūikawā i kahi ʻāina.

He mokupuni ʻo ʻIlelani, ʻaʻole he ʻāina ʻaʻole aupuni. Ua loaʻa mau i ka mokupuni he pūʻulu aliʻi; ʻaʻohe aliʻi maoli i noho aliʻi i ka mokupuni holoʻokoʻa ma ke ʻano he aupuni kūʻokoʻa ʻo Irish. Aia ma kahi o 30 mau mōʻī pākahi ma ka mokupuni ʻo ʻIlelani, akā ma ka maʻamau, ua māhele ʻia i ʻelima mau aupuni ikaika.

ʻO ka manawa hope loa ʻo ʻIlelani i kokoke loa e kapa ʻia he aupuni kūʻokoʻa, koe wale nō ka wā i noho aliʻi ʻia ai e ka poʻe Pelekania, ʻoi aku ia ma mua o hoʻokahi mileniuma i hala, ma lalo o Brian Boru a me ke poʻo inoa "High Kings of Tara." He aupuni mōʻī federala me ʻelima mau mōʻī kūloko (ʻoiaʻiʻo, nā aliʻi) nāna i ʻae i hoʻokahi aliʻi kiʻekiʻe. ʻO kēlā mau Aliʻi Kiʻekiʻe o Tara he "Kiʻekiʻe" ma ke ʻano he ʻoi aku ka ikaika ma waena o ka nui o nā mōʻī. Ua lei ʻia ʻo Brian Boru iā Imperator Scottorum a i ʻole "Emperor of the Scots" (ʻo ia hoʻi, ka Irish) ma Armagh i ka makahiki 1005. Ua māhele ʻia ka mokupuni, a ua noho aliʻi ʻia e nā ʻohana lehulehu. ʻO ka ʻohana (a i ʻole ka maikaʻi ma ka ʻōlelo ʻAilani) ʻo ke aliʻi a me kona mau ʻohana agnatic; akā naʻe, ua komo pū nā ʻohana Irish i nā mea pili ʻole o ke aliʻi. Ua loaʻa i nā mōʻī o Tara kahi inoa hanohano - akā hāʻawi kēia i ka mana liʻiliʻi ma luna o ko lākou aupuni ponoʻī, me ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻokupu a me ka hoʻolohe ʻana mai nā aliʻi ʻohana ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ke aupuni pekelala o nā aupuni i hoʻololi ʻia ma ke kaʻawale ʻana ma o ka naʻi ʻana, ke kūkākūkā ʻana a me ka male ʻana i loko o kahi United Kingdom o ʻIlelani, akā ʻaʻole i hiki. ʻO nā mokuʻāina nui a wehewehe maikaʻi ʻia i kēia manawa he mea hou loa ia i ka mōʻaukala geopolitical.

Ua hoʻomaka ka Irish Potato Famine, ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Great Hunger, i ka makahiki 1845 a ua hopena i ka neʻe ʻana o kahi hapa nui o ka heluna kanaka. ʻO ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ka mea i loaʻa mua i ka poʻe mahuka Irish. ʻO ka Society of the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick, i hoʻokumu ʻia ma 1771 ma Philadelphia, i hele mai e hoʻopakele iā lākou. I loko o ke kenekulia mua o ka Society, ua hoʻoikaika ʻia kona mau lālā e kōkua i ka poʻe i hoʻopilikia ʻia i ka pōloli, kipaku ʻia, a me ka lawe pio ʻana mai Ireland. He oiaio loa keia i na makahiki 1840, i ka wa i pilikia ai ka poe Irelani e ka Pololi Nui, ka pololi no ka pau ole o ka hua, a me ka ino o ke aupuni hookaumaha. I loko o kēia manawa, i ka wā i hoʻemi ʻia ai ka heluna kanaka o ʻIlelani e ʻelima miliona, ua hui pū nā lālā o ka ʻAhahui me nā lālā o ka Society of Friends a me nā ʻano hui ʻē aʻe e hoʻopau i ka ʻeha o ka pōloli. ʻAʻole i pili hou kahi i puka mai ai nā kūpuna ʻIlani. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia kanaka Irish, me ka ʻole o ka ʻohana, ke kōkua.

Ua hoʻololi ka Society of the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick i ke ʻano o ka Irish.

ʻO "Irish" kēlā me kēia kanaka ma ka mokupuni; ʻaʻole wale ia i nā ʻohana aliʻi o Munster, Leinster, Connacht, Bréifne, Ulaid, Airgíalla, Northern a me Southern Uí Néill, akā ʻo nā mamo pū kekahi o ke Aupuni ʻo Dál Riata kahi i noho ai kahi ʻohana Irish i kapa ʻia ʻo Scotti ma ka mokupuni. o Irelani a ma ke kapakai komohana o Kaledonia (ka wahi i kapa mau ia i keia manawa o Scotland).

ka mua ʻO ka lā ʻo St. ʻAʻole ma ʻIlelani i mālama ʻia ka parade akā ma ʻAmelika. Hōʻike nā moʻolelo i ka lā 17 o Malaki, 1601 ma kahi o St. Augustine, Florida i kēia manawa, ua mālama ʻia kahi huakaʻi o St. Patrick's Day. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka huakaʻi, a me kahi hanana ʻo St. Ma luna o hoʻokahi haneli ma hope mai, i ka lā 17 o Malaki, 1772, ua hele nā pūʻali koa Irish e lawelawe ana i ka pūʻali koa Pelekania ma New York City no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka haipule patron Irish. Mai laila mai, ua piʻi nui ka hoihoi i ka St. Patrick's Day ma New York City, Boston, a me nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe o ʻAmelika mua.

Ua hoʻolaha ka poʻe ʻAmelika i ka manaʻo o St. Patrick's Day e like me kā mākou i ʻike ai i kēia lā. Hele ka poʻe ma ʻIlelani Katolika i ka hale pule a hoʻolauleʻa i ka lā ma ke ʻano he lā hoʻomana. ʻOiai e hāʻule ana ʻo Malaki 17 i loko o ka Lent, ua ʻae ka papal dispensation i ka ʻIlelani Katolika e hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai ke kānāwai Canon kikoʻī e haʻalele i ka ʻiʻo i kēlā lā.

ʻO St. Patrick's Day kahi bacchanal piha ma ʻAmelika. ʻO ka Kalikimaka ka lā o ka ʻona ʻana a hiki i ka wā i pāpā ʻia ai e ka ʻōlelo Pelekane. Ua pāpā ʻia ka Kalikimaka i ka makahiki 1647 ma nā aupuni o ʻEnelani (ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Wales i kēlā manawa), ʻo Scotland, a me ʻIlelani. ʻAʻole i hoʻi mai ma ke ʻano he lā hoʻomaha a hiki i ka wā Victorian. I kēia manawa, hāpai ʻo St. Patrick's Day i ka lohi ma ʻAmelika.

ʻO The Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick ka mea nāna i hoʻonohonoho mua i ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana o Irish-American Heritage Month ma Honolulu, Hawaii. Ua hoʻomaka ka ʻEmerald Ball i ka ʻahaʻaina. Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Karen Elizabeth-Blackham Goodwin i ka hanana, i mālama ʻia ma Annie O'Brien's, kahi hale ʻaina ʻIlelani ma Honolulu. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka pāʻina ma Zoom, i hui pū ʻia e Karen, a me Jodi Bearden mai ka mokupuni ʻo Hawaii. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Karen, "Bill Comerford, he Pelekikena mua ka mea nona ka hale pā. ʻO Tim Dunne ka pelekikena o kēia manawa, ʻaʻole ia i hele mai no ka mea ke aʻo nei ʻo ia i kāna mau haku ma Genealogy ma ke Kulanui o Limerick no hoʻokahi makahiki. Ke alakaʻi nei ʻo Matt McConnell iā mākou ma ke ʻano he Hope Pelekikena i kona haʻalele ʻana.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tim Dunne (Peresidena) mai ʻIlelani ma Zoom, e ʻōlelo ana "Eia mākou e hana i mau hoaaloha hou a hauʻoli pū kekahi i kā mākou hoʻoilina Irish." Ua hoʻomau ʻo Dunne, "54 mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua hāʻawi ko mākou hui i ka haʻawina mua. Manaʻo mākou e hoʻomaka hou i kā mākou mau hana maʻamau a me nā hanana ʻohi kālā no kā mākou mau haʻawina. Ma ka hele pū ʻana, ʻaʻole mākou e hele hoʻokahi, a hiki iā mākou ke alualu i kā mākou mau kumu hoʻohanohano hanohano o ke ʻano he hui aloha, lokomaikaʻi, a moʻomeheu.

Ua loaʻa iā Kevin Kelly ka makana 2022 Irish Person of the Year. Ua ulu ʻo Kevin ma Texas a hōʻea i Hawaiʻi ma San Diego i ka hāʻule ʻana o 1985. Ua loaʻa iā ia ke kēkelē laepua ma ka moana moana honua ma 1988 a komo i ke kumu kula ma ke Kulanui o Hawaii a hiki i kona hoʻomaha ʻana i ka makahiki 2020. Ua mālama ʻo ia i ka luʻu hohonu o ke kulanui. ʻO ka hui kaʻa mamao no ka Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory a ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o kāna MBA ma Portland State University i ka makahiki 1999 ua koho ʻia ma ke ʻano he kākāʻōlelo no ka hope pelekikena o ke kulanui no ka noiʻi. Ua lawelawe ʻo Kevin ma nā papa he nui o ka ʻāina, ka mokuʻāina a me ke kaiāulu a ʻo ia ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu a me ka pelekikena o ka North Shore Economic Vitality Partnership, kahi hoʻomohala hoʻokele waiwai ʻāina ʻaʻole waiwai e kālele ana i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā manawa ʻoihana hou ma nā kuaʻāina o Hawaiʻi, ʻoi loa i ka mahiʻai a ʻāpana meaʻai. ʻO Kevin ka noho hoaloha o St Patrick parade no 10 mau makahiki a ua lawelawe pū ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he puʻukū, hope-peresidena a me ka pelekikena. Loaʻa iā ia ka inoa ʻo Pelekikena Emeritus i kēia manawa.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

Irish-American Heritage Month is observed in the United States by proclamation of the President and Congress to recognize the achievements and contributions of Irish immigrants and their descendants who have settled in the United States over the course of several generations.
The Irish Potato Famine, also known as the Great Hunger, began in 1845 and resulted in the emigration of an immense proportion of the population.
During this period, when Ireland’s population was reduced by five million, members of the Society collaborated with members of the Society of Friends and a variety of other organizations to alleviate the suffering caused by starvation.
