The year 2020 is a leap year and while all that is special about a leap year is that it comes after every four years and that means people born on February 29 get to celebrate their birthdays only after every four years. Apart from this, the different thing about leap year is that woman do not wait for their man to propose them and instead they make the move first and take the charge.
According to Irish Leap Year, it is considered to be a day of love and leap year traditions play an important role as on this day the women can propose to the love of their lives. Leap Day is considered to be very lucky and special. It is lucky for girls who are fed up of their man to take the initiative and pop the question.
The tradition of Leap Year Proposals
The tradition is believed to date back to 5th century when ann Irish nun St Bridget was fed up of woman waiting too long for her love of life to propose so She convinced St Patrick to give her one day in February, but only the one that occurs once every four years, when women were allowed to propose.
Traditional rules also suggest that women either have to wear breeches or a scarlet petticoat to pop the question.
