Traditional Irish Blessings for St Patrick’s Day

The most famous Irish blessing of all is the one that begins “May the road rise up to meet you.” It is often credited to St Patrick, but there is no evidence he wrote it. The opening line comes from the Irish phrase Go n-éirí an bóthar leat, which means roughly “may you succeed on the road.” The full English verse first appears in print in March 1945, when it closed a St Patrick’s Day address in New York, and nobody knows who wrote it. That does not make it any less loved — it is the blessing most people reach for on 17 March, and it works beautifully in a card. Here it is in full, followed by seven more traditional blessings to use or adapt.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

May your troubles be less, and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door.
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, the foresight to know where you’re going, and the insight to know when you’re going too far.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May the luck of the Irish be with you today and every day, and may your home be filled with laughter and love.
May your days be many and your troubles be few, may all God’s blessings descend upon you, may peace be within you, may your heart be strong, may you find what you’re seeking wherever you roam.
May your heart be warm and happy with the lilt of Irish laughter every day in every way.
May God grant you always a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel so nothing can harm you.

The blessing above is the one most often printed on St Patrick’s Day cards, and the research into its real history is worth a read if you want to get it right — see the story of “May the road rise up to meet you”.

How to Write Your Own St Patrick’s Day Wish

Copy-paste wishes are handy, but a wish you wrote yourself is the one people keep. Three steps are enough:

Start with the person, not the holiday. One true sentence about them — “You always make the room brighter” — does more than any shamrock emoji.
Add one Irish touch. A blessing, a mention of luck, a shamrock, a rainbow, or a simple “Sláinte!” is all it takes to make it a St Patrick’s Day wish rather than a generic greeting.
End with a hope. Wish them something specific: good health, a new job going well, a trip they are planning, a quiet year after a hard one. Specific hopes feel sincere; vague ones feel copied.

Example: “Happy St Patrick’s Day, Sarah — you have been the steady friend I count on all year, and I hope this year brings you the same kindness you give everyone else. May the road rise to meet you, and may we celebrate together soon.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good St Patrick’s Day wish?

A good St Patrick’s Day wish is short, warm, and a little bit Irish — a mention of luck, a shamrock, a rainbow, or a traditional blessing. The best ones add something personal, like the person’s name or a shared memory, instead of repeating a generic line.

What do you say on St Patrick’s Day?

“Happy St Patrick’s Day” works everywhere. For something warmer, try “May the luck of the Irish be with you” or the Irish greeting Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit — “Happy St Patrick’s Day” in Irish. A toast of “Sláinte!” (meaning “health”) is the traditional way to raise a glass.

What is the most famous Irish blessing?

“May the road rise up to meet you” is the most famous Irish blessing. Its opening comes from the Irish phrase Go n-éirí an bóthar leat, and the full English version first appeared in print in 1945. It is often credited to St Patrick, but there is no evidence he wrote it.

When is St Patrick’s Day 2027?

St Patrick’s Day 2027 is on Wednesday, 17 March 2027. The date is fixed every year on 17 March, the traditional feast day of St Patrick, so in 2028 it falls on a Friday and in 2029 on a Saturday.

Is it “St Paddy’s Day” or “St Patty’s Day”?

“St Paddy’s Day” is correct — Paddy is short for Pádraig, the Irish form of Patrick. “Patty” is short for Patricia, so many Irish people find “St Patty’s Day” grating. If in doubt, write out “St Patrick’s Day” in full.

Can I send St Patrick’s Day wishes to someone who is not Irish?

Yes. St Patrick’s Day is celebrated around the world by people of all backgrounds, and a warm wish about luck, friendship, and good fortune suits anyone. The heartfelt and short sections above work for any recipient.
