St. Paddy's Plans?

[TnT]

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

I'm going to see KMRIA tonight. KMRIA is a cover band for The Pogues. They are made up of several famous local musicians and I saw them in their first Pogues tribute get together last St. Paddy's... amazing show.

I imagine our own Paddy is celebrating Wales's victory over England today!

Eriks birthday was earlier in the week (14th, same as Einstein's ) but the family celebration will be tomorrow to accommodate schedules.

Indeed I did. Shame about France though, I thought Ireland had it...

[Fat Tone]

I think we both wanted that one.

[Paddy]

Yeah. I don't see how that final French try was awarded but hey, it's only a game and at least England lost

[Jessterw]

... and at least England lost

Is that not all that really matters?

St. Patty's day was rather calm and relaxing this year for us. Only real excitement was after the kids were in bed and we made some green-tinged mixed drinks.

Who made Paddy a Saint? I don't recall voting.

From Wiki;

For most of Christianity's first thousand years, canonisations were done on the diocesan or regional level. Relatively soon after the death of people considered to be very holy people, the local Church affirmed that they could be liturgically celebrated as saints. As a result, St. Patrick has never been formally canonised by a Pope, but he is still widely venerated in Ireland and elsewhere today.

St. Patrick is also venerated in the Orthodox Church, especially among English-speaking Orthodox Christians living in the United Kingdom and Ireland and in North America. There are even Orthodox icons dedicated to him.
