Save some green with these St. Patrick's Day deals
Faith and begorrah, it’s time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
Folklore says the patron saint of Ireland introduced Christianity to the Emerald Isle, using a three-leafed clover to illustrate the Holy Trinity. As a bonus, he banished snakes from the island.
Traditionally, the Irish celebrated St. Patrick’s feast day with religious observances and a special meal.
Leave it to their American cousins to turn it into a shamrockin’ good time, complete with parties, parades, decorations, green garb and green food and drink.
