St. Patrick's Day - March 17th

Post anything relating to St. Patrick's Day or Ireland. Let me kick it off:

 

[Aunt Bea]

"Oh the Murphy's gave a party just about a week ago
Everything was plentiful, the Murphy's they're not slow
They treated us like gentlemen, we tried to act the same
But only for what happened, well it was an awful shame…"

 

[Geezer Garage]

Irish blessings: . “May your neighbors respect you, troubles neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you." " May you be an hour in heaven, before the devil knows your dead."

March is Irish-American Heritage Month. We'll need to do something to celebrate like watch films about Ireland or drink heavily.

Belfast is a good movie about the turbulent '70s in Ireland, and there was Bloody Sunday and I think In the Name of the Father was pretty good from what I remember.

St Patrick's Day can fall any day of the week, but a special St Patrick's Day mass is held whether it's a Sunday, a Friday or anything in between.

These church services are special as they tell the story of St Patrick and what people can learn from him and what he achieved during his lifetime-- such as converting the Irish people to Christianity.
