St. Patrick's Day is Ireland's greatest national holiday
as well as a Catholic Holy Day. The date marks the anniversary of the death
of the missionary who became the patron saint of Ireland. It is a happy
holiday for the Irish and Catholics wherever they may be - in Dublin, New
York City, Boston ~ even Las Vegas. And because it is a religious holy
day as well as a holiday, many people begin the day by attending mass,
where it is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries throughout
the world, before the serious celebrating ~ parades, speeches, festive
dinners & dances, the 'wearing of the green,' and drinking green beer
~ begins. All folks welcome to be a wee bit o' the Irish on this day. Enjoy!

Irish Blessings
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May there always be work for your hands to
do
May your purse always hold a coin or two
May the sun always shine on your windowpane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer
you
~ An Old Irish Wedding Blessing ~
May God be with you and bless you
May you see your children's children
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings
May you know nothing but happiness
from this day forward.
Saint Patrick's Day Toasts
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold
you.
May God Grant you many years to live,
For sure He must be knowing
The earth has angels all too few
And Heaven is overflowing.
May the leprechauns be near you,
To spread luck along your way.
And may all the Irish angels,
Smile upon you St. Patrick's Day.
