Did you know that St. Patrick's Day fell on the 15th this year? The Catholic Church determines when this holy day falls. Because Easter is early this year, Holy Week and St. Patrick's Day have collided. Holy Monday happens to be March 17th this year. Such festivities as St. Patrick's Day are not allowed during Holy Week, so the day was moved back.
Some cities observed the holiday on Saturday. But, I'm taking no chances. I don't want to get pinched, so I wore green both days :)
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Don't forget to wear your green!

I don't care what anyone said. St Patrick's Day was, is, and will be, on 17th March.
I suggest if it happens again that we move Easter so it doesn't collide again with St Pats.
What next? The mind boggles
