Patrick's Day

St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17th, honors Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick. Originally a religious holiday, it commemorates his life and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Over time, it has also become a cultural celebration of Irish heritage, featuring parades, wearing green, and public festivities. The day often includes traditional Irish music, food, and symbols like shamrocks, which St. Patrick used to explain the Holy Trinity. While rooted in religious history, it is widely enjoyed worldwide as a lively celebration of Irish culture and identity.
