Colloquially St. Paddy’s Day is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.
The day is the national holiday of Ireland. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Montserrat, and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the rest of Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.
Dear mitmit,
Thanks for being the first to post a comment. I hope that you check out the one on the top. I want you to do the same great research, but try to read more and put it in your own words. Have fun.
St. Patrick has been belived to drive out all the snakes in Ireland. His Christiananity is popular throughout the world. He was a preist, and pointed out one day, while he was preaching,that on a 3 leaf clover points out the son, the father, and the holy spirit. Boston held the first annuel St. Patricks day parade. People on St. Patricks day have celebrated by eating Irish food, wearing green, and believing that leprechauns come in meschivious ways. Almost every Christain celebrates St. Patricks day.
Dear Journey i will try to put it in my own words
