                           St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity’s most widely known figures. St. Patrick’s Day celebrates the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick died on
 March 17, 461 but he was not really Irish. Saint Patrick’s Day is 
observed on 17 March, which is said to be the date of his death. It 
is celebrated inside and outside Ireland as a religious and cultural 
holiday. The green Irish flag is the official color for St. Patrick’s Day. However there are several other greens that are associated with the Irish culture. In reality the authentic color for St. Patrick the patron saint of Ireland is blue. St. Patrick’s day is enjoyed in more countries around the globe than any other national holiday.
