On the saints-day front, St Brigid of Kildare was popular at the start of February - and now interest has moved to St Patrick (17 March) and St Joseph (19 March).
Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish Language Week - running from 1-17 March 2016) always brings renewed interest in the Irish-language hymns, too.
Hymns for Lent and Easter have been viewed a lot: God of Mercy and Compassion has been top of the Popular Posts list for several weeks now.
