March 17th equals…

Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated in honor of the Patron Saint of Ireland, who brought Christianity to the Emerald Isles, as Ireland is known. It is a day of celebrating Irish history, ancestry, traditions, and customs. Remember to sport some green on this day – if not, you might just get pinched!!
