Yesterday was Saint Patrick’s Day, though many across America and the world took the whole weekend to celebrate the holiday. Soaps.com hopes everyone had a chance to celebrate or mark the occasion and find that little bit of Irish in you. The holiday commemorates the death of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who died on March 17 in 461. The day, which became an official Christian feast day in the seventeenth century, also marks the arrival of Christianity in Ireland and Irish heritage. Saint Patrick is commonly known as the man who miraculously chased the snakes out of Ireland, the snake being an allegory for pagan religions such as the druids. Many American erroneously refer to the holiday in short form as St. Patty’s Day, but the proper spelling is St. Paddy’s Day. Many of your favorite Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and Young and the Restless stars, both past and present, took to social media to share how they celebrated.
The Bold and the Beautiful
Darin Brooks (Wyatt Spencer) along with his wife Kelly Kruger (Mackenzie Browning on The Young and the Restless) were celebrating St Maddy’s day in honor of their pug’s 17 birthday. He wrote, “Happy ST MADDY’s DAY!!! In honor of lil Maddy’s 17th Birthday TODAY… we got her a brand new tennis ball… and she won’t let anyone else play with it… 😳 Everyone wish her happy birthday! Oh and for everyone else #HappyStPatricksDay !!! 😎🤙☘️.” Over in Australia, Katherin Kelly Land (Brooke Forrester) posed in a colorful dress against a lush green backdrop and posted, “Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I am in Australia now and look forward to showing you the new styles of #kellysklosetbykkl ! Tune in to @tvsn this week for the fashion shows! Yay!”

General Hospital

Haley Pullos (Molly Lansing) joked she didn’t have any green to wear, but pointed out her glass had a green straw. “Happy St Patrick’s day, I don’t own any green clothing so pls enjoy this photo of me amongst some very green grass whilst using a green straw.”
