MCMC students celebrate St Patrick's Day
MCMC students celebrated St Patrick’s Day (March 17) at the Greening of the Ruins of St Paul, with an Irish Coffee at Clube Militar de Macau.
This was merely one event in a continuing programme of cultural events, for students to experience first hand the cultural activities of countries around the world, enabling understanding and respect for other countries and cultures to be cultivated.
Everyone wore at least one item of clothing that was green in colour, and explored the reasons for this and the popularity of St Patrick’s Day celebrations the world over, especially New York, London and Hong Kong. St Patrick’s Day is annually celebrated by millions of people around the world: 149 million in the USA alone.
Irish Coffee provided an authentic taste, together with examples of good quality artisanal foods, for which Ireland is noted the world over. |
