Re: How is Is St Patrick's Day celebrations in Singapore a form of religious process
Which part of 'patron saint' don't you understand?
Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick"), is a cultural and religious celebration occurring annually on 17 March, the death date of the most commonly-recognised patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461).
Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early seventeenth century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland),[SUP][4][/SUP] the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland,[SUP][3][/SUP]as well as celebrating the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.[SUP][5][/SUP] Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, céilithe, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks.[SUP][6][/SUP] Christians also attend church services,[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP] and the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption.[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][9][/SUP]

Don't know how each one of you view St. Patrick's Day. To me, it is a day to drink beer that comes from green (colour, not environmental) bottles. And it need not be an Irish brew, Tsingtao Beer is fine too, but I think most of us will be dwinking Heineken or Carlsberg.
Cheers!

St Patrick's Day - A day for hedonists to indulge in Irish superstition and use it as a pretext to get drunk and fornicate.
St Patrick is the patron saint for the Irish and they celebrate the event. Fornication and drinking is just a by product. How is that hedonistic?

What's wrong with that?

Christmas, from what is being portrayed of it, does not come across as a religious festival, I don't see any connection between Christmas trees, Santa Claus and/or reindeer with the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is the big bang party to end the year.
Cheers!
