Bachelor's Day (tradition)
Bachelor's Day is an Irish tradition on Leap Day allowing women to initiate dances and propose marriage.〔(Marriage Customs of the World ): An Encyclopedia of Dating Customs and Wedding Traditions, Expanded Second Edition (Volumes ) George Monger ABC-CLIO, Apr 9, 2013〕 If the proposal was refused the man was expected to buy the woman a silk gown or, by the mid-20th century, a fur coat.〔〔(The Witches' Almanac, Issue 30 ): Spring 2011-Spring 2012 Andrew Theitic〕 The tradition is supposed to originate from a deal that Saint Bridget struck with Saint Patrick.〔http://www.timeanddate.com/date/leap-day-february-29.html〕〔http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2012-02/29/content_14716977.htm〕
