Today March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day, where people all over the world get together and celebrate St. Patrick, recognized as Ireland’s patron saint. This celebration has come to be more and more a celebration of Irish culture more than a religious celebration. St. Patrick’s day is typically celebrated in the US, Ireland (of course!), Argentina, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Each country has their particular way of celebrating but the most common way is to have a big parade and drink beer or ale.
No matter how you choose to celebrate this holiday the important thing is that you can share this day with friends and family.
