What does St. Patrick's Day celebrate?
St. Patrick's Day, on March 17, is the feast day of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and marks the traditional date of his death in the fifth century. It is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland, but not in Great Britain or the United States. It is celebrated widely with parades and green dress in the United States, Canada and Australia. Because it falls in Lent, the day's Lenten restrictions are traditionally lifted so that feasting is allowed.
