Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: L� �le
P�draig or L� Fh�ile P�draig), colloquially St. Paddy's
Day or Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which
celebrates Saint Patrick� (circa 385�461), one of
the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally
celebrated on 17 March. �The day is the national holiday
of the Irish people, it is widely celebrated In the
U.S.A., but is not an official holiday. �It became a
feast day in the Roman Catholic Church due to the
influence of the Waterford-born Franciscan scholar Luke
Wadding in the early part of the 17th century, and is a
holy day of obligation for Roman Catholics in Ireland.
The date of the feast is occasionally moved by church
authorities when March 17 falls during Holy Week; this
last happened in 1940 when Saint Patrick's Day was
observed on 3 April in order to avoid it coinciding with
Palm Sunday, and will happen again in 2008, when it
shall be held on 15 March for the novus ordo liturgy and
April 2 for the traditional Latin Mass to avoid the
second day in Holy Week. For more Info click

It's Daylight Time again |
|
|
|
� |
|
At 2 a.m. on March 9, 2008, groggy Americans will turn their
clocks forward one hour, marking the beginning of Daylight
Saving Time (DST).
The federal law that established "daylight time" in the
United States does not require any area to observe daylight
saving time. But if a state chooses to observe DST, it must
follow the starting and ending dates set by the law. From
1986 to 2006 this was the first Sunday in April to the last
Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it is observed from
the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November,
adding about a month to daylight saving time.� |
