Author 4 Author 6 Author 5 Author 7 GRAND DAY ST, PATRICK’S DAY St. Patrick‟s Day. St. Patricks Day is a very significant day for all Irishliving in Ireland and abroad. On the 17th of March every year we honour our Irish patron saint, St. Patrick. Thousands of people gather in the town for the parade which includes a multitude of cultures, extravagant street performers, musicians and large colourful floats. Also thousands of people gather in the lively Temple Bar area to indulge in the culture that we have to offer. Feasting on the day features traditional Irish food, including corned beef, corned cabbage, coffee, soda bread, potatoes, and shepherd’s pie. Many celebrations also hold an Irish breakfast of sausage, black and white pudding, fried eggs, and fried tomatoes. Many people from other countries and of different cultures visit Ireland on St. Patricks Day to help us celebrate the day of our patron saint. By -Lauren Ward 15
