St. Patricks Day
Celebrated on 17th March, the date on
which St. Patrick died.
A national holiday for the Irish
people,...
..also celebrated in Canada, UK,
Australia, USA, and New Zealand.
Celebrations are generally themed
around all things green and Irish.
There is a famous phrase, "Everyone
wants to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day."
Irish families traditionally wear green
and attend church in the morning,...
...and celebrate in the afternoon.
Lenten prohibitions against the consumption
of meat were waived on this day...
...and people would dance, drink,...
...and feast—on the traditional meal of
Irish bacon and cabbage.
Nowadays, families attend the
parade.
The Shamrock, Snake and Leprechaun is
the symbol of St. Patrick's Day...
