St. Patrick's Day began as a religious holiday in Ireland and spread to other parts of the world. It's a popular holiday in the U.S., but is mostly a non-religious celebration here. Things associated with St. Patrick's Day (and the Irish) include the shamrock and leprechauns.

What a lovely blog! I just love the way you add the cards to it. I used to do the same thing with cards sent to my sons by pasting them into a notebook.
I can't wait for more holidays now!

Dear Illya,
Thank you very much for the nice comment. I do too like to collect all the greetings here. It's fine to come back and read all the warm words on any events webheads receive in the e-list. It would be fun if everyone can leave a voice message here, wouldn't it?
