Saint Patrick's Day is a cultural and religious celebration occurring annually on March 17, the death date of the most commonly-recognized patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early seventeenth century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church.
The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, as well as celebrating the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, céilithe, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks. To celebrate the Irish holiday we have 20 phrases and proverbs we share with you:
