The liturgical celebration of St Patrick's Day on Saturday, March 15 brought out in stark relief the divide there is between people and priests.
If something is not understood or appreciated by people, then what symbolism or significance does it have.
Had St Patrick's Day fallen on the days between Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday, it would have made sense to change the liturgical celebration away from that day. But by falling on the Monday of Holy week, surely it made no sense moving it to the previous Saturday.
There is an important parable in this.
