I don't know why people are celebrating today as St Patrick's Day
It was on Saturday the 15th
Quote:
The Catholic Church will move St Patrick's Day 2008 after discovering it clashes with a key day in the Church's calendar.
Bishops discovered the Irish patron saint's feast on March 17 clashes with the second day of Holy Week next year.
Church rules decree the saint's feast day does not rank as highly as the Monday before Easter and therefore has to be moved.
