GLOBAL CELEBRTIONS:

ST PATRICK'S DAY

Every year, on March 17, St.

Patrick’s Day is celebrated to

honor St. Patrick, a seventeenth century Irish missionary. On this day, millions of people around the world don their green clothes, accessorize with clovers, and eat Irish-inspired meals. Like with any holiday,

various countries put their own unique twist on St. Patrick’s Day, but continue to encompass the same ideas.
