Subdeacon Joe Posted March 17, 2025 Posted March 17, 2025 I was listening to the morning news and heard the announcer say "Happy Saint Paddy's Day." Several things struck me, 1.) He said it right. So many say "St. Patty's Day." 2.) In Irish his name is Pádraig. 3.) In his native Welsh it's Pádrig In which case "Paddy" makes sense. But, 4.) In English we call him "Patrick" with a T , not Pádraig, with a D. In which case "Patty" makes more sense.
WD Farren Posted March 17, 2025 Posted March 17, 2025 It is also "gall bladder day" for my youngest daughter. She is under the knife as I write this.

WD Farren Posted March 18, 2025 Posted March 18, 2025 Gall bladder is now a literal drive-by surgery. She waited to be prepped longer than the surgery took. She is already home, doing well, and her Mommy is there to hover and take over. She is an R.N. and knows what to expect. Thanks for the kind words.
watab kid Posted March 18, 2025 Posted March 18, 2025 it was my understanding , as a non irish , that this started here in this country , im not sure why we might care of those past bits but ill admit they added a bit for this Scotsman's understanding ,
