St Patricks Day 2018
 |
For me it's more a moment of historical pause and whereas I once wore green on St Patrick's day religiously I now find that propensity to be diminished to nil pretty much.
It has little to do with St Patrick's day and much more to do with the contents of my wardobe by and large.
Today is St Patricks Day which celebrates the fifth century Christian missionary who legend states after returning there to convert the pagan Irish; drove the snakes from Ireland while engaged in pursuits against the indigenous Druids.
The Irish diaspora spread his tradition throughout those areas to which the Irish immigrated over the years and even though it is not a "legal" holiday St Patrick's Day enjoys wide spread celebration in the United States of America with various entertainment venus, rivers dyed green in celebration, green beer, food and such in the memory of this religious icon from the gaelic past.
Regardless of my personal views on the holiday if you are a celebrant by all means Happy St Patrick's Day to YOU !
