St. Patrick's Day
In the more solemn season of Lent, St. Patrick's Day breaks our small acts of self-denial with a day of celebration. St. Patrick's Day is often equated with Irish heritage parades, shamrocks, leprechauns, and beer. Recently, Benjamin, my six-year-old, asked me, "What's the day people pinch you if you don't wear green?" Here's a little bit about the life of St. Patrick that might help us turn St. Patrick's Day 2016 from a holiday to a Holy Day.
