ST. PATRIK’S DAY MARCH 14 - 17 THIS YEAR

March 6th, 2008 • Richard Cochrane

Who doesn't like cookiesFor the first time in nearly 70 years, the luck of the Irish has run out, and March 17th – St. Patrick’s Day falls during Holy Week. So, the Catholic Church has moved the saint’s holiday to Friday, March 14th. But, not everyone will honor the Vatican’s decree and any number of Irish will likely celebrate on both days, and preferably over the four day weekend. This calendar conflict won’t happen again until 2160 depressing whiskey distillers worldwide.
