SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!<br />
ST PATRICK’S DAY<br />
SPRING CARNIVAL<br />
PARADE<br />
St Patrick has called in the<br />
sisters to celebrate the arrival<br />
of spring, 100 years since the<br />
beginning of women’s suffrage.<br />
In ancient times, many festivals<br />
were held in celebration of<br />
<strong>Spring</strong> Goddesses associated<br />
with flowering, growth and the<br />
fertility of the land.<br />
Celtic goddess Brigit and<br />
Hindu goddess Bharamari<br />
(the goddess of the bees) join<br />
Patrick to lead the celebrations,<br />
which will see the city streets<br />
swell to life with the characters,<br />
sights and sounds of <strong>Spring</strong>.<br />
