St. Patrick's Day is a global celebration of Irish heritage, and this year it falls on March 17th. The day honoring the patron saint of Ireland was originally more solemn and religious in nature, but over time it has become associated with parades, food and drinks that are given an emerald hue. In fact, St. Patrick's Day is often marked by quirky traditions such as Chicago dyeing its river green or people wearing green clothing. However, the holiday also has historical roots in Ireland where it was originally a Catholic Feast Day honoring St. Patrick and became associated with rebellions against Britain in the 18th century.
One of the most popular ways to celebrate St. Patrick's Day is by indulging in traditional Irish foods such as corned beef, cabbage, and soda bread. Another way to get into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day is by wearing green clothing or accessories like hats and shamrocks.
