St. Patrick's Day
- celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by many of
non-Irish descent (Usually in the US and Ireland) hence the phrase
"Every one is Irish on St. Patrick's day". Celebrations are generally
themed around all things green and Irish; both Christians and
non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing
green, eating Irish food, imbibing Irish drink, and attending parades.
Each
year on the Saturday before March 17, the Chicago river runs emerald
green in celebration of this annual holiday. The dye used is actually
"orange" in color, but when mixed with the natural color of the river
it becomes almost fluorescent green for several hours.
Saint Patrick's Day,
colloquially Paddy's Day or St. Patty's Day, is the feast day which
annually celebrates Saint Patrick (373-493), the patron saint of
Ireland, on March 17.| Member Comments | Total Comments: 29 |
