Did we missed a local Google site? Well, upon checking almost all local english Google websites, we found out that Google is currently celebrating St. Patrick’s Day today, Saturday, 17 March 2012.
Participating Google sites are Google Canada, Australia, United Kingdom and Ireland.
Google always celebrate and honor St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland and the day also marked the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. According to a Wikipedia entry, St. Patrick’s Day is ”probably the most widely celebrated saint’s day in the world.”
Last week, Google celebrated Japan’s Akira Yoshizawa, the grandmaster of Origami.
