⌘ Happy St. Patricks Day! ⌘

Happy St.Patricks Day everyone. Here are some facts about this religious holiday. For one did you know it was a religious holiday? I for sure didn't know that. Did you also know how it started? It started when Christianity was brought into Ireland.  It is commemorates Saint Patrick , but is most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland. It is celebrated as a Catholic holiday but the Anglican church took part in it too. the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early 17th century.Also on St. Patty's day people would meet in the church and dress in green attire especially wearing shamrocks.so next time you think of St. Patricks Day as drinking and having fun. It is a religious holiday and is to be spent in the church.


Just some thoughts for today.

Blessings


John
