- St Patricks Day falls on the seventeenth of March. Everybody gathers shamrock a few days before that & puts it in their coat or hats to celebrate St Patricks Day.
Ash Wednesday falls on the first day of Lent. Nearly every body goes to mass on that day to get blessed ashes. Easter Sunday is the last day in Lent. May Day. All children dress up as Kings & Queens & Fairies and play around the May Bush.
