Hero Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 What are the traditions for St Patricks Day? It's not really celebrated locally, except maybe pubs offer discounts on Irish beers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prisca Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 18 March 2022 Holi The Hindu festival of love, color and spring. It's a time when Indians don simple, inexpensive clothes and take to the streets to drench each other in clouds of colored powder and buckets of water. There's singing, dancing, and of course, food. Holi this year falls on Friday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) I saw a documentary about Indian customs years ago and ever since seeing videos of the Holi festival I've always wanted to go. It looks like so much fun! I knew someone who went once, their advice "Make sure the powder you throw is definitely paint, and not other substances that come in powder form!"

Also, green beer is a thing. I know it's late but St. Patrick's Day is also the feast day of St. Gertrude of Nivelles (The Patron Saint of Cats). https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/93339/saint-gertrude-nivelles-patron-saint-cats-more-or-less Edited March 20, 2022 by kreacher added a photo of Mika, just in case anyone doesn't know what cats look like 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is also the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, of Forests, World Poetry Day and World Down Syndrome Day. There just aren't enough days in the year to celebrate everything you want to celebrate and that's why you can celebrate several things every day.
