It was also the last time the parade would be run. The South Side Irish Parade Committee met a week after the St. Patrick\u2019s Day debacle. The committee announced, via a news release on their Web site, that they are discontinuing plans to hold the parade in 2010. One of the determining factors was the violence that broke out along the parade route. When it was all said and done, nearly a dozen police officers were assaulted and 54 people were arrested.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:100%\">The parade had become increasingly popular in recent years. Over 300,000 people crammed into the 24-block route in this year\u2019s event. According to eye-witnesses, many of the people who gathered for the parade had been consuming alcohol.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:100%\">From the South Side Irish Parade\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.southsideirishparade.org\/\">official Web site<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis decision was not arrived at lightly. For 31 years, this parade was a staple of the Beverly\/Morgan Park and Mt. Greenwood communities &#8212; a celebration of faith, family, and heritage that was cherished by thousands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The feast of St. Patrick is celebrated on March 17, in honor of the Irish saint. It is also the national holiday of the country of Ireland.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:100%\"><span style=\"font-size:130%;color:#660000\"><strong>Discussion Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:100%\">How did you celebrate St. Patrick\u2019s Day?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:100%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Saint_Patrick\">St. Patrick<\/a> is recognized as a patron saint by the Catholic Church. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americancatholic.org\/Features\/saints\/patrons.asp#P\">What do you know about saints<\/a>?

After three years of preaching, teaching, healing, and stirring up all sorts of trouble, Jesus finally returns home. He has amassed quite a following in this time. Everyone wanted to see what Jesus was doing. They wanted to know if what they heard about him was true. Could he really walk on water? Was he able to raise the dead back to life? Was he really the Son of God, or just the latest fad who could do a few magic tricks?<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:100%\">Jesus knew that his return to Jerusalem might be a big deal, so he sent one of his disciples ahead to get a colt for Jesus to ride in to town. Why a colt? Back in the day, if a military hero came home, he arrived on a horse. If a peace messenger came, they rode in on a donkey. Some other gospel writers (Matthew and John) say Jesus came on a donkey, thus conveying a peaceful entry into Jerusalem. Perhaps Mark felt that, though Jesus wasn\u2019t coming with a message of military might, his return home wasn\u2019t necessarily peaceful.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:100%\">Jesus was a rockstar among the people in his hometown. Everyone wanted a piece of him. They threw their clothes and palm branches on the ground to keep the dust from stirring up in his face. The people formed lines along the side of the road. They showered him with praises. He was even allowed to enter the temple, even though the hour had grown late.<\/p>\n<p>In many churches, Palm Sunday has morphed into Palm\/Passion Sunday. We are reminded that, even in the midst of our jubilant celebration, we are only a few days removed from the drama that unfolds on Thursday night. 21st century Christians are aware of this. Jesus was aware of it at the time, but the people who were shouting \u201cHosanna!\u201d likely had no idea. Their joy couldn\u2019t be contained. Jesus &#8212; the Son of God and an ancestor of David &#8212; came home.
