We don’t really celibate the feast of St Patrick in the UK. Yes we sang Cockles and Mussels yesterday at choir, but we don’t wear shamrocks or green top hats. Yes some towns have a large Irish population, and will enjoy the festival, but we are eclectic here and celebrate other religious days too, including Celtic ones like Beltain. Often people gather at Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice. The world is full of joyful days to be treasured if you look hard enough. X
