Why is St Patricks day on the 15th??

Q: I thought I saw a post about it being on the 15th thats why i am asking! Its usually the 17th!

A: Catholics don't celebrate feasts on days during Holy Week which lasts from Palm Sunday evening to The Vigil on Holy Saturday night commemorating Easter. This year EAster falls very early so St. Patricks DAy feasting is moved to the 15th and some will celebrate the feast of St. Joseph noramlly the 19th on Friday the 14th
