Dumb St. Patrick's day Julian/gregorian calender question for Orthodox

[JVS]

Can I use the 13 day difference between Western and Eastern Xmas and Easter to justify an Eastern Orthodox St. Pat's on March 30?

1. I would look up what his day is in the various jurisdictions.

Then again, when would a saint turn down an extra day for a party? ;)

The 30th is the day before Lazarus Saturday. Sounds like a good day to celebrate St. Pat.

2. Why not?

The Celtic churches were closer to the Orthodox in some ways, especially in the dating of Easter. And Himself has entered the timeless realm, so I doubt he'd care at all, at all, when you celebrate his life!
