Ireland - St. Patrick's Day |
|
|
St. Patrick's Day
is
Ireland's National Day. I think this is the only National Day
that is celebrated by so many different countries around the
world, with many people not even knowing it is Ireland's
National Day. I find that quite funny. |
Also...the
Irish flag
is Green to represent the Catholics and
Orange to represent the Protestants with a band of white
neutrality between the Orange and Green. I wish peace to
everyone in Ireland. |
Happy
St. Paddy's Day everyone!!!! |
