Happy St. Patrick’s Day from a Celt

Although my parents, siblings, and I were all born in Cuba, my grandparents all came from Galicia, a province in the north of Spain. This area of Spain was home to many Celts and some theorize that Celts actually originated in this area and spread throughout Europe and to Ireland. As in Ireland, bagpipes are also quite common in Galicia. When my sister did her DNA test, it revealed that she was about 18% Irish, a further testament to the connections between Galicia, Ireland, and the Celts! So this Celt is wishing everyone a very happy St. Patrick’s Day!
