St. Paddy's Day In The Berkshires
Saint Patrick’s Day is technically a day to honor Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland and to acknowledge the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. However, the mention of St. Paddy’s Day usually conjures up connotations of green beer, mischievous leprechauns, and corned beef and cabbage. It is a day when anyone can wear shirts that say Kiss Me, I’m Irish, for it is typically a day full of celebrations and good cheer. Here in the Berkshires, there is a great sense of community as people come together to revel in anything Irish.
