djk,
Is today the begining, end or middle of the week long celebration?
BTW: Patrick is the "p" in Jps1006. No Irish blood though, well very little if any.

Hope you all had a great day! I reckon there'll be no shortage of lepricorn sightings after last night! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/wink.gif) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) ![[Linked Image from gov.ie]](http://www.gov.ie/images/photogallery/70.jpg) Ireland photo gallery [This message has been edited by pauluk (edited 03-18-2004).]

I've heard of St. Patricks day from time to time, but I never heard any background about it. I expect a St. Patrick is involved...

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland: http://wilstar.com/holidays/patrick.htm Other parts of these islands have their saints as well:- St. George (England), St. Andrew (Scotland), and St. David (Wales). Like the story of St. Patrick and the snakes, there are various myths and stories surrounding them, e.g. St. George is said to have defeated a dragon!

Wow, that looks like some party! From Paul's link I just learned that the Irish have been celebrating this saint since the 5th century.
