While the holiday is no longer widely celebrated in Ireland, there are still associated festivities celebrated throughout the Irish diaspora in Australia and Canada. HistoryTraditionally, Sheelah's Day was celebrated the day after the Feast of St. Patrick and coincided with the Christian festivities.[1] According to Irish folklore and mythology, Sheelah was either the wife or mother of St. Patrick, and the holiday served to commemorate her life.[2][3][4][5] Irish antiquarian journals and newspapers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries mention a wife of St. Patrick. Freeman's Journal referenced Sheelah's Day in 1785, 1811, and 1841. Australian press from the nineteenth century recorded observances of Sheelah's Day, including the consumption of large amounts of alcohol.[6] Sheelah's Day is no longer officially celebrated in Ireland, but continues to be celebrated in Newfoundland, Canada after Irish immigrants arrived in the late seventeenth century.[2][7][8] In Newfoundland the holiday may also be connected to the legend of the Irish princess Sheila NaGeira.[9] Some scholars suggest a connection between the holiday and the Sheela na gig, found in medieval architecture throughout Europe.[2][10][11] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.waterfordlive.ie/news/home/370185/st-patrick-s-day-facts-and-theories-according-to-the-experts.html|title=St Patrick's Day facts and theories according to the experts|date=15 March 2019|website=www.waterfordlive.ie}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/st-patrick-had-a-wife-and-her-name-was-sheelah-1.3013056|title=St Patrick had a wife, and her name was Sheelah|date=March 16, 2017|first=Olivia|last=Kelleher|website=The Irish Times}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/st-patrick-had-a-wife-and-irish-used-to-also-honour-sheelahs-day-35539220.html|title=St Patrick had a wife - and Irish used to also honour 'Sheelah's Day'|author=Ralph Rigel|date=March 17, 2017|website=Independent.ie}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.irishpost.com/news/the-identity-of-st-patricks-wife-revealed-after-1500-years-and-turns-out-she-had-her-own-day-of-celebration-on-march-18-115573|title=Identity of St Patrick's wife revealed after 1,500 years - and she was quite a woman|date=March 16, 2017|first=Aidan|last=Lonergan|website=The Irish Post}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vFAJAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA139&lpg=PA139&dq=sheelah's+day|title=British Popular Customs, Present and Past: Illustrating the Social and Domestic Manners of the People: Arranged According to the Calendar of the Year|page=139|first=Thomas Firminger Thiselton|last=Dyer|date=17 March 2019|publisher=G.
