March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day, a day where Saint Patrick ‘s and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland is celebrated. It also extends beyond religious commemoration and celebrates Irish heritage and culture in general. Celebrations are held with public parades, people wear green and shamrocks adorn all for luck. Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day, which is in part why the holiday’s close die with drunken debauchery exists. With this is mind, I thought I could dress as nothing other than a drunken leprechaun today to help celebrate this, the drunkest of Irish holidays in style.
