Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day Quotes Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. -Aristotle Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. -Lao Tzu My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite. -William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. -Elizabeth Barrett Browning Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable. -Henry Ward Beecher How many days until Valentine's Day?

Saint Patrick's Day

From being a Prisoner of the Irish Raiders, guided by visions and the word of God, St Patrick is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D. The Irish have observed St Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, as a religious holiday for thousands of years. The first St. Patrick's Day parade took place in the United States with Irish soldiers serving in the English military, marching through New York City on March 17, 1762. In addition to playing Irish Music, the parade helped the soldiers to reconnect with their Irish roots, as well as fellow Irishmen serving in the English army. How long until St Patrick's Day?
