Its a great day for the Irish! :dancing-banana:

I'm French, not Irish, but I love St. Patrick's Day and wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Alas, I do not see the green......

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all from Ireland

I wonder why some can't see the green, Matthew changed the banners dividing areas and letters at the top that announce Cathinfo. and more to green.  

You have to refresh your browser because it's remembering yesterday's images. For most, hitting F5 will do the trick.

Yes, this is what I had to do last night to see the green.

I trust we can now dispense with the green and return to the liturgical colour of Lent/Passiontide. :-)

Red or violet please and thank you. (Not that I would make a huff and a puff and blow yer church down spectacle in any case.) The colour change does add a pleasant touch to the forum.

And what it is with the serious lack of Easter bunnies on the Smilies list?
Shocking, just shocking!  :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

After I realized that I wasn't seeing initial evidence of a monitor failure, I asked myself: Hey!  Why didn't I think of doing that?

Alas, I realized that Passion Sunday, as a "Sunday of the first class"*, quashes the Feast of St. Patrick, except as 'commemoration', everywhere in the U.S.A. except maybe the (Arch)Diocese of New York.  Maybe that (arch)diocese can 'translate' it to Monday (at the expense of St. Cyril of Jerusalem).

[...] and return to the liturgical colour of Lent/Passiontide. :-) Red or violet please and thank you.

"Red"?  Tradition would call for the de facto purple formally called 'violet' (purple being redder, and violet being bluer, at least for those of us whose colors were defined in childhood by Crayola crayons).

If I can trust Kenneth Bath's Novus-Ordo-only "RomCal", even for them, violet was the liturgical color for Sunday.  So who would use "Red"?

Not that I would make a huff and a puff and blow yer church down spectacle in any case.

What with Matthew bearing the burden of sole proprietor & moderator, it seems only fair for him to indulge himself, from time to time, by lightening things up in ways like this.

If I'd thought about a resolution far-enough ahead of time for myself, I might've scanned a shamrock and a harp as a contribution to the nameplate of a certain Web-site.  Which reminds me that I have a pair of bottles of Guinness left.

Note * "Passion Sunday" (1911) in Catholic Encyclopedia via New Advent (Novus Ordo).
