St. Patrick's Day is a cultural and religious holiday that is held on 17 March each year. The holiday was originally celebrated to mark the death of Saint Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland in the 17th century. St. Patrick's Day was originally celebrated as a feast by the Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox and Luthern churches. Back in the day, the holiday celebrated the arrival of Christianity in Ireland but today it commemorates the culture and heritage of the Irish. Today the holiday is celebrated with public parades, festivals, wearing green and drinking alcohol.
