Happy St. Patrick's Day!

March 17, St Patrick's Day is the national holiday of Ireland and celebrates Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints of the country. The celebrations are themed around all things Irish and by association, the colour green. The tradition with colour green comes from the shamrock, a three-leaved plant (trifoi) used by Saint Patrick to explain the Holy Trinity. In NYC the celebration started in 1762. For a day everybody is Irish, wearing green, attending parades or enjoing Irish foods and drinks. This year, I and Coni intend to go and see the parade on 5th Avenue and afterwards Corina and Kevin are coming over for a traditional Irish dinner with corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. I wonder if Corina will wear her Claddagh earrings, present from Maureen! I will post pictures later. Have fun!!!
