I have just read an article in Christian Peböck's blog myblogPeböck and it talks about St. Patrick's Day.
Basically what it says is that St. Patrick's Day is a feast day, which celebrates St. Patrick, one of the patrons of Ireland and it is celabrated on March 17 th. It is also mentioned that it is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Montserrat. In Canada, Great Britain, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated but is not an official holiday.
It also says, that everybody, who celebrates is dressed green and drinks a lot of alcohol and there is also a lot of Irish music in the pubs. On this day everything is coloured green. For example, beer, clothes, hair and so on. In some areas even the rivers are coloured green only for one day.
What interested me most was the fact that nearly everything is coloured green, even the rivers!!!??
As for me i think people in Austria should also celebrate St. Patrick's Day. ;)
yours, Manuel
