Happy Saint Patrick's Day

A jolly Leprechaun here to wish you a happy Saint Patrick's Day, just be sure to stay away from his pot of gold.

The Feast of Saint Patrick, also known as Saint Patrick's Day, is a religious and cultural event celebrated on March 17, which is the traditional date of Saint Patrick's death. Saint Patrick is the main patron saint of Ireland.

Early in the 17th century, Saint Patrick's Day was declared an official Christian feast day. Today, it is commemorated by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Lutheran Church, and the Anglican Communion (particularly the Church of Ireland). By honoring Saint Patrick and the introduction of Christianity to Ireland, the day also honors the history and culture of the Irish as a whole.

Celebrations typically include parades and festivals open to the public, as well as the wearing of green clothing or shamrocks. Historically, the Lenten prohibitions on eating and drinking alcohol were eased for the day, which fostered and spread the holiday's history of alcohol use. Christians who belong to liturgical faiths also attend church services.
