Sure, And It Ain’t Easy Being Green
Church officials in Ireland say Roman Catholic celebrations of St Patrick's Day will come two days early there next year to avoid a conflict with Holy Week. St Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide on 17 March, but the church has decided to shift its 2008 feast day to Saturday, 15 March. It's the first time the date has been changed since 1940 and the next conflict is not expected until 2160. But the good news is that 17 March next year will also remain an official Irish day off from work.
