Each of the four countries in the British Isles has a patron saint (покровитель). In England we have St. George, in Wales St. David, in Scotland St. Andrew and in Ireland St. Patrick. Each of these saints is commemorated on a dedicated day of the year. St. Patrick's day, 17th March, seems to attract the most merry-makers, from all over the world. The day is well known for good-natured partying, lots of Guinness, and lots of craic ([mass noun] chiefly Irish - enjoyable social activity; a good time).
I've spent the last few hours on old Arbat soaking up the atmosphere. It seemed as though all of Moscow was there having fun. Here are some of the photos I took. Not sure why the cyclists were there? Perhaps they were at the wrong rally?
