An acolyte burns incense during the procession prior to Mass on Sunday, March 11, 2017 during the Celtic Cross Ceremony at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Savannah, Ga. Many things have changed in the nearly two centuries since Georgia's oldest city held its inaugural St. Patrick's Day parade in 1824. Now thousands of tourists from across the U.S. flock to Savannah every March 17 for a sprawling street party that may be the South's largest celebration between Mardi Gras and Spring Break. Still, many of Savannah's Irish descendants maintain St. Patrick's Day traditions that have nothing to do with beer-swilling revelry.  (Robert S Cooper/Savannah Morning News via AP)
