So is Palm Sunday "liturgically related" related to St. Patrick's Day, because after all, they're less than two weeks apart?

No. the Paschal Lamb prefigured symbolically Christ, the Lamb of God, who redeemed the world by the shedding of His blood. The Lamb of God is related to the Paschal Lamb of Passover - foundational and integral to the message of Christianity.

Your view may be different, but this is true for Christianity since the beginning.

That is the Christian view only. The word paschal has two meanings in the modern dictionary, one for Easter, one for Passover. The hebrew word is pesach.

___

H6453 (Strong) פּסח pesach peh'-sakh From H6452; a pretermission, that is, exemption; used only technically of the Jewish Passover (the festival or the victim): - passover (offering).
