St. Patrick’s Day<br />
<strong>Spring</strong> Holidays<br />
Saint Patrick’s Day is a<br />
cultural and religious day on<br />
March 17th and a patron saint<br />
of Ireland. He was born in<br />
Roman Britain in the late 4th<br />
century; he was kidnapped at<br />
the age of 16 and taken to<br />
Ireland as a slave. It was emigrants, particularly to the<br />
United States, who transformed St. Patrick’s Day into a<br />
largely secular holiday of revelry and celebration of things<br />
Irish.<br />
The significance of this holiday is the feast day of Saint<br />
Patrick and commemoration of the arrival of Christianity<br />
in Ireland. The celebrations are to attend parades, wearing<br />
shamrocks, wearing<br />
green, drinking Irish<br />
beer, and drinking<br />
Irish whiskey.<br />
