On which date is St Patrick's day celebrated?

St. Patrick's Day, celebrated annually on March 17th, is a cultural and religious holiday commemorating the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. He lived in the fifth century and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. The day originally started as a religious feast day, but it has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture. The date, March 17th, is believed to be the date of Saint Patrick's death. So, while you might be tempted to think of other important dates in the UK, like St. Andrew's Day on November 30th celebrating the patron saint of Scotland, or St. George's Day on April 23rd for England, St. Patrick's Day is specifically and consistently observed on March 17th. The wearing of green, parades, and shamrocks are all part of the festive traditions associated with this day.
