New York City's St. Patrick's Day Parade returns after a two-year absence because of the pandemic. Millions are expected to once again line Fifth Avenue for the return of a longtime tradition. GainerTV reports.
New York Army National Guard soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry regiment -- or the Fighting 69th, as it's known -- will lead the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade for the 171st time.
The Fighting 69th was originally a militia unit for Irish immigrants, and in 1851, they were asked to lead the annual parade of Irish Catholics in case of anti-immigrant violence. To honor their legacy, during the parade, they carry a fighting stick made of blackthorn wood from Ireland and wear a sprig of boxwood.
At noon, the parade will stop in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral to say a prayer for those who died of COVID-19.
