Re: Beannacht Lá Fhéile Pádraig
you obviously didnt read the other thread. some old German bloke moved it so it didnt spoil his easter plans:
from that wikiwotsit site:
"The date of the feast is occasionally moved by church authorities when March 17 falls during Holy Week; this happened in 1940 when Saint Patrick's Day was observed on 3 April in order to avoid it coinciding with Palm Sunday, and is happening again in 2008, being observed on 15 March."
