BLOOMSDAY IN IRELAND
Ireland is a republic placed in the northwest of Europe and it is a part of the British archipelago. There are, more or less, four million people living in this island. The main language are Irish and English, this one is the second official language of the country. They consider themselves as Roman Catholic. The Bloomsday is a yearly celebration. It takes place in June the 16th, and it is celebrated in honour of Leopold Bloom, the main character of the Ulysses, whose author was James Joyce. The celebrants try to eat the same food, and they try to wear the same clothes as the main characters of this work, and they try to play similar acts as in the book. Every year they follow the same route as the characters in the Ulysses, they walk around the streets playing games and making performances, as if the street was a big theatre. In June the 16th in 1904, Nora Barnacle and James Joyce started a relationship, this fact inspired the argument of the book, and this is the origin of this celebration. The relationship took place in Dublin, that is the main cause of this celebration, because Irish people feel that event like a tribute to their country, so they decided to celebrate it. They started celebrating the Bloomsday on 1954 Aida Ruiz Fernández
