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.

What is Bloomsday?
For those of you who may not be in the know about Bloomsday — Bloomsday, observed annually on June 16th — pays homage to James Joyce and his seminal work, “Ulysses.” This iconic novel unfolds over the course of a single day, June 16th, 1904, capturing the experiences of its protagonist, Leopold Bloom. Notably, June 16th also marks a significant personal milestone for Joyce, as it commemorates his first romantic encounter with Nora Barnacle, who would later become his wife.
