                               In the old Celtic calendar, March 18 is Sheelah's Day. In ancient
                               Ireland, it was an annual festival to honor the fertility Goddess
                               known as Sheela-na-gig. Naked Sheela-na-gig figures appeared
                               in Irish churches constructed before the 16th century, but most were
                               defaced or destroyed during the prudish Victorian age. According
                               to some sources, the origins of "drowning the shamrock" have also
                               been traced to this date. In the eighteenth century, William Hone
                               reported on the celebrations surrounding Sheelah.  All agree that 
                               her immortal memory is to be maintained by potations of whisky. At
                               the end of the day, the faithful would then take their shamrocks and
                              drop them into their respective glasses before downing the contents.
