The history of St. Patrick’s Day, which started out as a Holy Day for the Irish Catholics in the 10th or 11th century, goes all the way back to the late 3rd century when a small boy was born in Roman England by the name of Maewyn.
Maewyn and his family lived in a small town where his father was a soldier in the army, and a member of the town government. Some accounts say that Maewyn was an agnostic and some say that his family was Christian, but weren’t very strong in their faith. Either way, it doesn’t really matter because it was what happened later in his life that gained him his notoriety.
When Maewyn was only 16, there was a raid on his village from Ireland, in the Irish Sea. They captured Maewyn and many of the villagers, and took them back to Ireland as servants and slaves for the local Irish.
It was here in captivity that it is reported that Maewyn accepted God, and began to talk to him. In fact, legend has it that he often spoke to God in prayer up to one hundred times a day. And Maewyn was under the authority of a Celtic family, so he learned the Celtic language and how to speak it fluently. Six years later, when he was 22, Maewyn escaped from his servitude, and ran to France. There he joined a monastery and under the direction of the Bishop of France, he studied the Bible. It was this Bishop who gave him the name Patrick. Legend has it that while Patrick was here in the monastery, he heard angels calling him back to Ireland.
After spending 12 years in the study of theology and Catholic Laws, he departed and went to Ireland to preach to a heathen nation. He spent 30 years in evangelistic and missionary work across the land. He won many converts over, healed people, and it was even said that he raised some people from the dead. Everywhere he went he announced God, and he built many schools and churches to help promote the Catholic religion. Legend has it that angels followed him everywhere, and even told him where and how to go.
After 30 years of missionary work, he died on March 17th. This is the day that has gone down in history as St. Patrick’s Day, for the patron saint of Ireland.
St. Patrick’s Day today has grown into much more than just a Holy Day for Catholics. Strict Catholics around the world though do remember St. Patrick, usually in an early Mass on March 17th. But everyone joins in as a celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and becomes Irish for the day. It has now become a celebration of spring with parades special Irish meals, green tinted drinks and beer, etc. “The wearing of the green” and the Leprechaun have come about over the years to be Good Luck and prosperity to all and everything green typically represents the turning to spring – green is the color of life.
So, with one day to be Irish, take advantage, and have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day.

Whether you are planning an outdoor event or just doing a bathroom remodel at your home, you may find yourself in need of a portable restroom. These devices can be lifesavers in either situation. But you will certainly want to find out how much the rental costs to rent before you can get one.
The first thing you should know is that a portable restroom does not have to mean the simple small structure you may be familiar with from construction sites. While you can certainly get that type of portable restroom if it will meet your needs, you have more options. Restroom trailers are available that resemble a regular public restroom on the inside, with several stalls and sinks for hand washing. Some restroom trailers are actually very elegant, with upscale fixtures and plenty of room. Certain restroom rental companies may even offer you the option of hiring a restroom attendant.
Once you decide what type of portable toilet will fulfill your needs, you will need to shop around. Prices may vary widely by region and company. Generally, you should expect to pay at least 0 a day to rent a basic, construction site type portable restroom, with prices going up from there. When calling around for price quotes, be sure to ask if delivery, setup, and removal are included in your quoted rental price.
This will help you to accurately compare quotes from several companies. Your distance from the company will likely play a role in whether delivery, setup, and removal are included or cost extra, so check the distance with an online map service. This will give you an accurate mileage that you can provide to the company. Also inquire about rates for longer term rentals, as you may get a deal when renting that way.
A portable toilet can be a great solution for any event you may be planning or any project or emergency that limits or prevents the use of your home bathroom. If you take the time to choose wisely and shop around, you'll be glad you decided to rent one!
