Saint Patrick's Day, colloquially St. Paddy's Day or Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa AD 385–461), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.
The day is the national holiday of Ireland. 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, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.
It became a feast day in the Roman Catholic Church due to the influence of the Waterford-born Franciscan scholar Luke Wadding in the early part of the 17th century, and is a holy day of obligation for Roman Catholics in Ireland.

Our Realm celebrated this day with a treasure hunt. The fortunate winners were Lady DilLunaVa Mai, first place, Lady Lea Kas, second place and last but not least, Lady RavenOhana Boa. They all found each a pot of gold.
In the evening, we all joined Ladyheart Janick at the Inn, in Duhallow, for a fun St. Patrick’s party. Everyone dressed up in green fancy costumes but Lord Meehaul Savon was unanimously considered the best dressed for the occasion.
