Why Saint Patrick's Day?
Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.
So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.
In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns alike celebrate with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

There were stories about that system in Soldier of Fortune magazine years ago.
In about 1996 I was working for the state in Meadville, PA. About six of us took some people from Harrisburg to lunch at a Chinese resturant. One of the people there was an intern girl from Sri Lanka. Her parents owned a plantation there and they were very wealthy. The girl was tall, slender and one of the most beautiful women I have ever set eyes on.
She was talking about her home country and no one even knew where it was but me. I also knew about the insurgents there, the "Tamil" (tigers) from reading about them in SOF magazine. She was very impressed with me.
Who ever said reading SOF was useless? I get a wealth of info from that rag.
