Fill your heart with Ireland
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Since our inaugural flight to Dublin in 2014, Ireland has held a special place in our hearts. Join us today and celebrate at home with downloadable Zoom backgrounds, inspirational Irish blessings, and fun trivia to entertain family and friends.
May the road rise up to meet you
Let’s take a cue from our wise Irish friends and share some of their well-known sayings. St. Paddy’s Day is a perfect reason to spread some Irish cheer and bring a smile to someone’s day.
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you do.
May your heart be warm and happy with the lilt of Irish laughter. Every day in every way and forever and ever after.
May your troubles be less and your blessings be more. And nothing but happiness come through your door.
May the road rise to meet you, May the wind always be at your back, May the sun shine warm on your face, And rains fall soft upon your fields.
May the joys of today equal those of tomorrow and the goblets of life hold no drags of sorrow!
Trivia
May luck be on your side as you challenge your friends and loved ones to a round or two.
