Happy St. Patrick’s Day (Observed)

Yes, St. Patrick’s Day is not really until Monday (March 17th), but due to the incredibly early Easter this year it lands during Holy Week (that week between Palm Sunday and Easter). And so its celebration is moved to not interfere with Holy Week activities. (There is a course a hierarchy for this, and Holy Week beats St. Patrick’s Day just like St. Patrick’s Day beats Lent; which is why when it lands on a Friday it overrides not eating meat. And besides, in America it’s always nice when it’s during the weekend as you can party more.) So we are writing on it both days. Enjoy!
