Some flogging Molly, for the occasion ;)


Saint Patrick's Day is a religious holiday celebrated internationally on 17 March. It is commemorates Saint Patrick, the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland, and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland.

Well, I wonder what he'd say now? About it and what not? I made cupcakes today, and don't plan on drinking anything, but I did learn how they keep the cream from seeping into irish beer!

Originally, the colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue. Over the years the colour green and its association with Saint Patrick's day grew.[18] Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century.[19] He is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish, and the wearing and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a ubiquitous feature of the day.[20][21] In the 1798 rebellion, in hopes of making a political statement, Irish soldiers wore full green uniforms on 17 March in hopes of catching public attention.[18] The phrase "the wearing of the green", meaning to wear a shamrock on one's clothing, derives from a song of the same name.

(I got all this from Wiki,lol. )

So, its kinda interesting.
I feel like I should go to church or something, but I don't even do that on Christmas...

Anyway, have a good day, whatever you do. My Mum actually made the gravy during dinner green, it looked like slime. Hahaha, but it was kind of funny. But yeah, have a fun day! I have to go to class now :/
