St Patrick's Day, the festival of the patron saint of Ireland, is celebrated each year on 17 March. Unlike most other national days, St Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world.
It is the day when supposedly a man called St. Patrick died.
Today a lot of people around the world worship this dead man. They dress up like leprechauns wishing for luck and getting drunk with green beer.
Shamrocks have become the central symbol of St. Patrick’s Day. It is a three-leafed plant, used to illustrate the Christian teaching of ‘three divine persons’ (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) in the one God.
The large-scale big parades for St Patrick are celebrated all over the world in big cities such as Boston, Dublin, Belfast or in Fanore on the west coast of Ireland, a tiny village with no real centre except an isolated church and one or two pubs
St Patrick's Day is the traditional day for the finals of the schools cups for rugby, Gaelic football and football. These finals attract large crowds and television audiences.
