What is St. Patrick’s Day?
Traditionally St. Patrick’s Day has been observed on March 17th for over a thousand years. The day is a celebration of the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. There are many legends associated with St. Patrick – he brought Christianity to Ireland and that he eradicated snakes from the island. When Irish people emigrated away from Ireland, they found joy in celebrating their Irish pride with parades and festivities on March 17th. This tradition continues today. St Patrick’s Day has evolved into a global day to learn about Ireland and celebrate.
