St. Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17. It is a day to honor St. Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland, who died on this day around the year 493. This day is celebrated by many Irish and non-Irish people. In some communities in the United States, schools are closed and parades are held. In Ireland and some other countries, it is a public holiday. St. Patrick spent much of his time in the church working as a missionary and converting people to Christianity.
Many people observe St. Patrick’s Day in various ways. One way people do this is by wearing green. The color green is the color of the shamrock, which is an important symbol of the day. People also drink green beer, eat corned beef and cabbage, have Irish stew, and spend time with family and friends.
St. Patrick’s Day is a day of much celebration and of many festivities for the Irish and the non-Irish.
