Happy St Patrick’s Day 2025

Hello there, and welcome. “Dia duit” (dee-ah gwit) is the most common way to say “hello” among Irish nationals who speak Gaelic. The greeting literally means “may God be with you.” You can say dia duit to greet people in any setting.

Erin

Erin go Bragh means “Ireland forever”. It inspired Vivian to create a very special hat. Here it is.

Hattingdon wears a gorgeous top hat in the colours of “the green and the gold” of Ireland, embellished with a charming shamrock in white. Vivian named the hat “Erin”. There is more below, including a beautiful St. Patrick’s Day poem by Julie Garwood.

An Irish Wish for St. Patricks Day

By Poet: Julie Garwood

May you always have
A sunbeam to warm you,
Good luck to charm you,
And a sheltering angel
So nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you,
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.

May your joys
Be deep and many,
May your heart
be light and glad,
May you have the best
St. Patrick’s Day
That you have ever had.


Thank you for spending time with us. See you again soon.
