In an uncommon calendar twist, all of Holy Week, including Easter Sunday, falls within the month of March. (Easter will be even earlier in 2027 and 2032, on March 28 in both years.) That means a larger number of events than normal, along with International Women's Day and St. Patrick's Day, the feast day of the Archdiocese of New York's patron saint.
