March 17 is a date that marches through history with a shamrock in one hand and a lightning bolt in the other. It holds empire-level power shifts in ancient Rome, the roar of conquest in medieval Damascus, and the surprisingly long roots of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the Atlantic world. It also carries turning points written in ink—treaties, constitutions, resignations—and turning points written in steel, stone, and ash: a collapsing tower, a tunnel disaster, a volcano’s fury, and a satellite that still circles above like a tiny time capsule. This Echoes edition gathers the strange mix: triumph and tragedy, science and statecraft, devotion and dissent—50 moments that prove one date can contain an entire universe of human behavior.
