What is St. Patricks Day?

What activities are there?

St. Patrick's Day, held on March 17 every year, commemorates Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

This festival originated in Ireland in the late 5th century and has now become Ireland's national holiday.

Activities such as parades, church services and dinners are usually held.

Irish people in the United States like to wear clover, decorate their rooms with green and yellow, the colors of the Irish flag, wear green clothes, and give clover ornaments to guests.

Extended information: In Dublin, the capital of Ireland, as many as 500,000 locals and tourists participated in the festival despite the cold weather.

The United States has celebrated this festival for more than 200 years, and many people of Irish descent participated in the parade in costumes that day.

In addition, many people around the world celebrate this festival.

Even though the weather in Dublin is quite cold in March, people participating in the festival seem not to care and remain enthusiastic.

With cheerful music and brightly colored costumes, Dublin is festive, with songs and laughter filling every corner of the city.
