St. Patrick’s Day occurs annually on March 17 in observance of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. What began as a religious feast day in the 17th century has evolved into a variety of festivals across the globe celebrating Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, and a lot of green.
Why green? The color can be tied to several things, including Ireland’s flag, its nickname as the “Emerald Isle,” the shamrock (which is an important symbol in the story of Saint Patrick) and spring.
