Q: Where do they get the gall to move it? I'll still celebrate it on March 17, as usual. I fact, maybe I'll move Easter this year. Apparently one day is as good as another. It's being moved because it coincides with "holy week", whatever that is.
A: The celebrations are being moved in Ireland because of the clash with Holy Week, and Holy Week is more important in the Catholic calender than St. Patricks day. Not sure what they are doing in America but they only celebrate St. Patricks day there from some sense of heightened nationalism and not from a Catholic standpoint so I'd imagine it won't change for ye.
