A blessed feast of St. Patrick (and Cheesefare) to everyone.

Oh, so there really was a Saint Patrick?  What's his dealio?

I thought that St. Patrick was a parade organizer.

I think it's Greek or Cyrillic.

Ha, I suppose most of those characters do exist in Cyrillic -- I took Russian once upon a time -- but I kept thinking about that m followed by an h. I finally plugged it into google translate: "naomh" = saint in Irish.

I still can't figure out that final squiggle at the bottom.
Edit: oh, it's a G!
