Today, millions of people are wearing green in observance of St. Patrick’s Day. Some places will observe the event as a holiday. It is interesting to know the etymology of the word “holiday” The word comes from two Old English words: “holy” and “day” It seems to me that while many holidays may have been “holy days,” holidays today are far more about commercialism and parties and less about anything “holy”.
As you think about Saint Patrick, understand that if you are a Christian, the Bible calls you a “saint” and every day should be a “holy day”.
