Saint Patrick’s Day, celebrated annually on March 17th, honors
the patron saint of Ireland with parades, wearing green, and
feasting.

Originally a religious feast day commemorating St. Patrick’s
5th-century mission to bring Christianity to Ireland, it has
evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture

The first Saint Patrick’s Day parade in Ireland was held in
Waterford in 1903, hundreds of years after the first parade
in North America.
