Russia will Henceforth Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

The patron saint of Ireland has finally won over the Russian Orthodox Church, which declared on Thursday that it shall henceforth celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, albeit on March 30, almost two weeks after the carousing has wrapped up to the west. https://themoscowtimes.com/news/russias-orthodox-church-will-henceforth-celebrate-st-patricks-day-57385

Good to have the auld Russians onside, the more the merrier for Paddy's Day.

Not many sleeps left now..

To be fair to Russia, they do follow the older calendar no longer in use in the West. Hence why they celebrate New Year on January 7th etc. But fair play to them. Hope they enjoy St Patrick's!
