St. Pat's Day


Once again it is March 17th. It is Saint Patrick's Day. Prepare to see a lot of Irish people manifesting their nationality, usually, by marching in the parade, wearing green, and... drinking. Saint Paddy's Day is national holiday in Ireland, but it is celebrated all around the world.

It became a feastday in the catholic church, it is a holy day of obligation in Ireland. Color green is one of the symbols of Saint Pattrick's Day. An interesting fact, Green is the color for St. Pat's day not because it has something to do with St. Pattrick the saint, but it is associated with Ireland.


Let's go out and celebrate!
