St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's Day is a feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (385–461), one of the patron saints of Ireland. This day is celebrated on March 17 th . Today, it's a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Montserrat. In Canada, Great Britain, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, St. Patricks Day is celebrated but is not an official holiday. It became a feast day in the Roman Catholic Churche in the early part of the 17th century and it is a holy day for Roman Catholics in Ireland. If St. Patrick’s Day is on a holy day like Palm Sunday like in the year 2008, it is celebrated on March 15th.

Everybody who celebrates is dressed green and drinks a lot of alcohol and there is also a lot of Irish music in pubs. On St. Patrick’s Day there is nearly everything in the colour green. For example, beer, clothes, hair and so on. In some areas there are rivers painted in green only for one day.
