What is St Patrick’s Day?
For Christians, the day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. However, it has also become a celebration of Irish culture in general. The day generally involves public parades and festivals and wearing of green attire. St Patrick Day is widely celebrated by the Irish all around the world!
Another interesting fact that explains why is shamrock and green are associated with St Patrick day. According to Irish folklore, Saint Patrick was using the shamrock to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to the Irish people. That’s where the significance of wearing green on St Patrick’s day comes from – it means to wear a shamrock on one’s clothing!
