Day 76 ~ Patty's Day
Many people go out to the bars and drink as celebrating the day. I wonder how many people know the reason why we go out drinking. Traditionally, the day is to celebrate Christianity coming to Ireland. Since March 17 is usually during lent, and drinking is traditionally prohibited during lent, for St. Patrick's Day the prohibition was lifted for the day to celebrate.
