ST. PATRICKS DAY PARADE

BALCONYTV.COM 17/03/2007
PRESENTED BY PAULINE FREEMAN
Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá 'le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig), colloquially Paddy's Day or St. Patty's Day, is the feast day which annually celebrates Saint Patrick (373-493), the patron saint of Ireland, on March 17.
It is the Irish national holiday and one of the public holidays in the Republic of Ireland (a bank holiday in Northern Ireland); the overseas territory of Montserrat; and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the United States, Australia, and rest of Canada it is widely celebrated, although not an official holiday.
It became a feast day in the universal church due to the influence of the Waterford-born Franciscan scholar Luke Wadding, as a member of the commission for the reform of the Breviary [1] in the early part of the 17th century.
A common practice among gardeners is to plant at least one potato, no matter how cold the weather, on St. Patrick's Day. This is done in order to ensure a good harvest for the coming year. Some speculate that this may have arisen from the Irish Potato Famine.

ALRIGHT EVERYONE! some of you liked this, some of you didn't, that's totally cool. some of you think we're yanks, that's cool too but we're not, so there's a fun fact. um we were just being sarcastic and that sort of shit, you know? it was st. patrick's day for fuck's sake, we were sitting on the balcony gettin pissed as the day went on, give us a break, lads! and whoever saw this parade would know it wasn't nearly as good as the past ones we've had, so it was reaaaally hard to stay entertained.
