Happy Leap Year Day! As it only comes around once every four
years, hope you can do something special and make it a memorable one.
There are many tales
concerning February 29th, with the most notable dating back to fifth
century Ireland and involving saints Patrick and Brigid. The latter complained
it was unfair that only men could propose marriage. After what must have been a heated discussion,
the hallowed pair reached an agreement:
that the fair sex could pop the question once every four years. The Legend goes on to say that on leap year day poor Brigid--a.k.a. Mary of the Gael--asked Patrick for his hand but was
rejected. Hope your day goes much better
than poor Brigid’s!
