Today is Saint Patrick's Day. It brings back my good memories when I traveled to Dublin last summer. A great city full of energy and friendly citizens I miss the most. Ireland is definitely worth to go back for another visit someday.
Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig), colloquially St. Paddy's Day or Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa 385–461 AD), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.
The day is the national holiday of Ireland. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Montserrat, and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Nowadays the Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by non-Irish people in Australia and North America. Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the colour green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green or orange, eating Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink such as Guinness, Baileys Irish Cream or carbomb drink, and attending parades.
