The Bandera Prophet
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17. The day commemorates St. Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, as well as the heritage and culture of the Irish. The Irish say, “On St. Paddy’s Day everyone is Irish,” and we all wear something green that day.
Wishing an old Irish blessing to all, “May neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.”
