St Patrick’s Day 2012 is under
way on March 17th and we welcome all those who become Irish on St Patrick’s
Day.
Saint Patrick's Day is a
cultural and religious holiday celebrated internationally on
17 March. It commemorates Saint Patrick, the most commonly recognized of
the patron saints
of Ireland,
and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It is observed by
the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of
Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran
Church. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early seventeenth century, and
has gradually become a secular celebration of Irish culture in general.
The day is generally
characterised by the attendance of church
services, wearing of green
attire and the lifting of Lenten restrictions on eating
and drinking alcohol, which is often
proscribed during the rest of the season.
Saint Patrick's Day is a public
holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern
Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador and in Montserrat.
It is also widely celebrated by the Irish
diaspora, especially in places such as Great Britain,
Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, among others.
Today, St. Patrick's Day is probably the most widely celebrated saint's day in
the world.
St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal for all Irish people.
Irish people celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day by wearing green clothes,
attending the parade, play music, songs and enjoy Irish food & drink. Irish
people also arrange special kids activities such as craft, coloring and games

European countries. Not just Irish people celebrate the St. Patrick's Day but
