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 />
