What exactly is an Orange parade, and why do these marches still take place today?
In this educational podcast, we explore the history of the Orange Order and examine three reasons commonly given by supporters for the continuation of Orange marches:
The commemoration of the Battle of the Boyne and other historical events. The preservation and public expression of Protestant faith and heritage. The belief among many supporters that defending the tradition of marching is also a defence of the right to peaceful public assembly in an age they see as increasingly shaped by cancel culture.
Whether you're completely new to the subject or simply want to understand why these parades continue to attract thousands of participants and spectators, this episode provides historical context and explains the different motivations behind the tradition.
