[:ja]アンドルー・モーガン宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したアイルランドです。3月17日はアイルランドにとって極めて重要な祝祭日、聖パトリックの祝日です。アイルランドにキリスト教を広めた聖人聖パトリックの命日で、カトリックの祭日、アイルランド共和国の祝祭日です。
聖パトリックの祝日には、シャムロックを服につけたり、ミサを行ったりします。アイルランドでは何世紀も前からこの日を祝う伝統が受け継がれ、正式に1903年より祝日となり、イギリスから独立後、徐々に祭礼日として成長しました。一方、アイルランド政府は、新型コロナウイルス感染拡大に伴い、聖パトリックの祝日の前の日曜日から、パブやバーを閉鎖する通達を出しています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.985: Ireland🇮🇪
Astronaut Andrew Morgan captured from ISS Ireland. Saint Patrick’s Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a cultural and religious celebration held on March 17, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. 385 – c. 461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
Saint Patrick’s Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.
On the other hand, the Irish government has called on pubs and bars to close from Sunday to help tackle coronavirus. While the government acknowledges that the majority of the public and pub owners are behaving responsibly, it believes it is important that all pubs are closed in advance of St. Patrick’s Day.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
