Have You Got Green On????
I almost forgot to post for Saint Patrick's Day - gads my Irish ancestors would be sending little green men to get me if I did.....St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.
Here are a couple of SPD Brain Teasers for ye:
"Erin Go Bragh," a phrase heard often on St. Patrick's Day, means:
I Love Ireland
Ireland Forever
Brave and Free
Ireland, My Home
This film, shot in Ireland in 1952, was directed by John Ford:
Ryan's Daughter
The Quiet Man
The Dead
The Informer
If you want to be sure you got them right, go to History Made Every Day - Saint Patrick's Day, check out the answers, be sure you have green on, go eat some corned beef and cabbage, drink some green beer, clap at the Irish parade, listen to some bagpipe music and then go home and take a nap!!!!
