V-DAY QUIZ
Quiz: How well do you know your saints?
Quizziness is next to saintliness.
WITH VALENTINE’S DAY fast approaching, many of Ireland’s singletons will be looking for anything to do that doesn’t remind them of how everyone is getting gifts and cards and flowers and kisses except for them.
Boy, do we have the solution for you: a saints quiz!
Known to some as the land of saints and scholars, holy people have always held a particular cache within Irish culture. Today’s quiz is dedicated less to the saints themselves and more so to the prevalence of saintliness in Ireland. Just do the quiz and you’ll see what we mean.
