Saint Patrick day

The holiday is celebrated on the 17^th of March because Saint Patrick died on that day.

Saint Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. St Patrick is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland.

In Catholic Ireland itself, this day is celebrated more quietly and in the family circle. Only the Irish emigrants have made the St. Patrick's Day to a mass event.

Green is the colour of the Irish and Green should be everything on that day.

In the early days only her national flags, which they kept swinging joyfully in the sky, were green but over the years more and more "objects" were dyed green. Scarves, sweaters, trousers, shirts, T-shirts, hats, even food, their beer and the faces have been awarded green colour, according to the motto: everything you can colour, will be coloured.
