EDITORIAL: Don't ask to reschedule 200-year-old traditions

This year, St. Patrick's Day is falling during Holy Week for the first time since 1940. Many members of the Christian community have a problem with extravagant parades and excessive parties happening during the solemn week preceding Easter. It was pointless, however, for Christian leaders to attempt to change city traditions because of the permanence of the March 17 St. Patrick's Day date.
