Where I grew up there was a large Irish catholic population and every year St. Patrick's Day was heartily celebrated in the churches and then in the local pubs. My stepfather (Irish catholic named Patrick ) always wore shamrock (bought from the local greengrocer) as did most other Irish families. Other saints' days seemed to pass with little notice being taken.
How were/are saints' days celebrated where you live/d?
(My daughter was born on March 17th, but I had no urge to call her Patricia. )
