== The Saint's Days ==
* Valentine's Day is no longer officially the feast day for St. Valentine, which definitely explains on some level why the "St" has been dropped from the name. February 14th is now the feast day for Cyril and Methodius, this changed in 1969 under Pope Paul the V, I think.
*Paddy for St. Patrick's Day makes logical sense in that Paddy is a celtic diminutive for Padrig, which is Anglicized to Patrick. I;ve never actually heard it as Paddy's Day, I've always heard it as "St. Paddy's Day"
just my thoughts, good luck.--[[User:IScott|IScott]] 19:13, 22 February 2011 (EST)
