Home to the great Oracle of Delphi and city to Apollo, Delphi is believed to have been the naval of the world. Go ahead and grab your passport and all the kids’ passports and visit the wonderful antiquity of Delphi.

Passports

Passports are documents that allow for international travel. Without them no one can enter a foreign country or re-enter their country of origin. All American citizens whether man, woman, child, or even infant must have a passport if they wish to cross the border. Children didn’t used to need passports, but due to stricter child trafficking laws this changed to protect children. Passports are fairly easy to obtain especially with the advent of the internet. By keeping up to date with all passport related issues such as renewals and name changes traveling should be a cinch. Remember that kids’ passports are only valid for five years, and no renewals are permitted.

Apollo

The Oracle of Delphi was a place where anyone could come and retrieve answers to their questions. They would present their quandary to the virgins of the well and they would receive their oracle. It was later noted that these virgins were sitting atop a well that gave of some rather gaseous fumes that may have caused some hallucinations. But when it comes to oracles, a drug induced answer is just as good as a sober one.

World Heritage Site

In addition to the Temple of Apollo, the Hippodrome, and of course the elusive site where the Pythia gave their oracles. Delphi has a lot of other sites to offer. Crowned an UNESCO World Heritage site, there is also the Altar of the Chians, the Stoa of the Athenians, Sibyl rock, the theatre, and the tholos just to name a few. These structures are truly remarkable to see.

Ancient Myths

The Greeks came up with many wonderful stories and myths throughout their unique history. Many thousands of years ago, the Greeks actually believed that their country was at the very center of the globe. This is where they got the term “belly button of the world” came from. Another funny anecdote that the ancient Greeks used to believe was that the God Apollo actually slayed a dragon in the middle of the Earth.

The ancient Greeks believed that they were the center of the earth, and specifically that Delphi was the belly button of the world. For this reason there was structure made to represent the bellybutton of the world. This belief coincided with the belief that the dragon that Apollo slew was protecting the naval of the earth. Traveling to Greece is an amazing experience and there are so many sites to see. This is why it’s important to have an understanding of the places you’re going to visit. Plan ahead and map out the sites you want to see, but don’t leave out Delphi. Delphi has many sites to offer. So with your US passport in hand have the kids grab their kids U.S. passports and show them the ancient belly button of the world.

Why not do something incredible this year for St. Patrick’s Day? Tell your locale bartender you’ll see them later, grab your passport, and head off to Ireland! Why would you not want to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day where the guy was actually from? Get ready to add some passport pages and have the time of your life. If you need to get a passport renewal before the big day you better hurry up, as processing time can take up to a couple of weeks.

Passport Needs

Before you leave the United States for your St. Patrick’s Day travels, you will have to make sure your passport is up to date with all of the correct information on it. Anyone who wants to travel internationally must possess a valid United States passport before they will be allowed into another country. Even babies are now required to be passport holders before they travel internationally. By staying on top of all the passport requirements that must be met for international travel you will save yourself the headache of having to scramble around at the last minute to get a new passport.

Celebrations

The reason St. Patrick is celebrated worldwide is because of him ridding the country of all its snakes. This would be an awesome accomplishment, and a sweet reason for people everywhere to binge drink, but the fact of the matter is that it never happened. In reality, Patrick was born in Britain and came from great wealth. It is believed that he was born sometime around the 4th century. He was actually kidnapped and brought to Ireland when he was a young man. However, he managed to escape and find his way back to Britain. Regardless of what actually happened, we can all agree, St. Patrick was a rad dude.

History

However, in 432 C.E. he went back to the land of his captivity after following a dream. At this point he was a Bishop. He was sent to bring Christianity to the Irish pagans. At this point the Shamrock enters as he used it to explain the Holy Trinity to the Native Irish polytheists. Christianity spread like wildfire throughout the nation. He became honored and sanctified for spreading the tradition which is why his death date of March 17th is celebrated as a holiday today.

Downpatrick, Ireland

If you are going to be in Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day, you should make your way to the small town of Downpatrick. This quaint village is believed to be the final resting sport of St. Patrick himself. It is home to the world’s largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Again, if you are looking for the biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebration around, fly to Ireland and make your way to the town of Downpatrick. Downpatrick is right on the outskirts of Dublin.

Attractions

If you make you way over to Ireland you will find that there are many spectacular attractions and sites for tourists to enjoy. You can visit the famous Blarney Stone, and if you kiss it, you will be blessed with the “gift of gab”. Also, you might want to play a round of golf of one of their many amazing courses. Anyone who travels to Ireland will see right away how many wonderful activities and attractions there are that the entire family can enjoy.

Ireland is a beautiful country to visit, the rolling mountains and the cresting ocean encompassing the Island is remarkable. The history and lore that resides in the ancient soils is also quite unique and adds to Ireland’s distinction. Why not plan a trip to Ireland to correspond with the Feast of St. Patrick; you will want to go back year after year. Double check your passport and apply for a new United States passport pages if needed, or if your low on pages add passport renewal. By taking care of necessary passport issues, Ireland is only a flight away.
