St Patrick’s Day – March 17th

16 March 2009

St. Patrick, famous for banishing snakes from Ireland, the Emerald Isle, is the patron of the same country and his day is celebrated in style, not only in Ireland, but in many other parts of the world. The considerable Irish population in New York has been known to colour the Hudson river green that day and the parades held in the streets of the Big Apple are very spectacular.

Everyone is considered to be Irish on March 17th.  The country itself comes to a halt on that date as the many fraternities and associations dress up and parade through the streets of both towns and villages alike. Weather permitting, there is a lot of outdoor entertainment. Mind you, after a couple of pints of the famous black beer – Guinness, the weather isn’t important!

And finally, an Irish blessing for everyone:

May there always be work for your hands to do

May your purse hold a bob or two

May the sun shine on your window pane

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain

May the hand of a friend always be near you

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you

HAPPY ST PATRICK’S DAY!
