A Brief History of St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated annually on March 17th, honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Originally a religious feast day, it has since evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture featuring parades, music, and the wearing of green. Legend has it that St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, which is why shamrocks are such a prominent symbol of the holiday.
