    'Tis true Kandy and I'm confusing people (how unusual) ...

    From Wikipedia ...

    "(St Patrick's Day) became a feast day in the Roman Catholic Church due to the influence of the Waterford-born Franciscan scholar Luke Wadding[1] 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 either March 14[2][3] or March 15.[4] After 2008, March 17th will not fall during Holy Week again until 2160.[5]"
