Sorry, didn't know you had an American experience with St. Patrick's Day. My bad. I think St. Patrick's Day has the potential to be bigger than it is, especially with children. They should be able to do more than the stuff I alluded to earlier. Hell I think Easter would be bigger if the date was fixed. --- Beware the fanatic!

St. Pattys all people do is get get trashed and Easter is pointless if you dont have kids or arent very religious. I'm not Irish and don't get trashed, dont have kids or am I religious. I notice I don't really celebrate any holidays. Thanksgiving is sorta religious in its origins. Giving thanks to God for surving. Halloween? Again no kids and would rather be left alone. Christmas? Not Christian any longer. I rarely gave out gifts since I lived alone and far away from family. --- I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me.

ROBANN_88 03/30/24 5:40:51 AM #64:	Let's see what wikipedia says https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_of_Easter "The complexity of the algorithm arises because of the desire to associate the date of Easter with the date of the Jewish feast of Passover which, Christians believe, is when Jesus was crucified.[5] .... It was originally feasible for the entire Christian Church to receive the date of Easter each year through an annual announcement by the pope. By the early third century, however, communications in the Roman Empire had deteriorated to the point that the church put great value in a system that would allow the clergy to determine the date for themselves, independently yet consistently. 6] Additionally, the church wished to eliminate dependencies on the Hebrew calendar, by deriving the date for Easter directly from the March equinox." --- Kremlin delenda est <cite>ROBANN_88 posted [p:979638653] in Easter in ...
