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 death of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. He lived in the fifth century and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. The day has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture with parades, traditional music, Irish dancing, and, of course, wearing green! The shamrock, a three-leaf clover, is also a key symbol, representing the Holy Trinity according to Irish tradition. While some might confuse it with other holidays in March or even St. George's Day in April, the specific date of March 17th is firmly associated with St. Patrick and Irish heritage. So, if you're thinking of green beer and shamrocks, remember the date!
