St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day observes of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinking and a whole lot of green.

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17, the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. St. Patrick’s Day will take place on March 17. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. On St. Patrick’s Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!

In 2025, daylight savings time starts on Sunday, March 9, and ends on Sunday, November 2025.

According to Wikipedia – Daylight saving time, also referred to as daylight saving, daylight savings time, daylight time, or summertime, is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time.

Why did daylight savings time start in 1970? In the early 1970s, America was facing an energy crisis, so the government tried an experiment. Congress passed a law to make Daylight Savings Time permanent year-round, but just for two years. The thinking was more sunlight in the evening would reduce the nation’s energy consumption.
Was daylight savings for farmers? Myth: Daylight Saving Time was Created to Benefit Farmers – The truth of the matter is the agriculture industry lobbied against daylight saving time in 1919. Some believe it was then that farmers became associated with daylight saving time, even though they were only involved because they were against it.
What time do farmers wake up in the morning? Historically, farms all had cows to milk, and it’s most comfortable for the cows to get milked at evenly spaced times each day, which means on a two a day milking cycle, you find farmers milk early (say 5am and 5pm) to eat dinner at a normal-ish time and see their kids before bedtime.
