Where does St. Patrick’s Day come from?
St. Patrick’s Day commemorates St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who is credited with bringing Christianity to the country. The 17th of March, the date of St. Patrick’s death, has evolved into a day of celebration, marked by parades, feasts and the donning of green attire to honour the saint and the rich Irish culture. Over the years, St. Patrick’s Day has grown beyond Ireland’s borders, capturing the hearts of people worldwide.
