Today is St. Patrick's Day!
What is St. Patrick's Day? Well, here's the answer:
Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a religious and cultural holiday held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
Along with wearing green (or orange, depending upon one's persuasion) and having corned beef and cabbage, there's one other way to celebrate.
That is to pop a DVD (or VHS tape) of John Ford's beloved movie, The Quiet Man (1952), starring John Wayne, Barry Fitzgerald, Maureen O'Hara, Victor McLaglen and Ward Bond. That's what I'll be doing this evening.
