St. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on March 17th each year to honor the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. It is a public holiday in Ireland and is also widely celebrated in other countries including the United States, particularly by those of Irish descent. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by eating traditional Irish foods such as corned beef or Irish stew, music, parades, and wearing green! Green is the primary color associated with St. Patrick’s Day as it symbolizes the lush landscape of Ireland as well as new life and Spring.
