    On St. Patrick's Day it was considered that the proper thing to do was to offer treats to each other in honor of St. Patrick.

    On St Patrick's Day it was considered that the proper thing to do was to offer treats to each other in honour of St. Patrick.
    A certain woman would offer a lot of drinks. On one St. Patrick's Day a woman who had offered the drinks was going home and she sat down on the side of the road and fell asleep. When she woke and was getting up to go home she found that she could not stand and she said "O Holy St. Patrick look what I am suffering for you."
