Did you know what kind of festival St Patrick’s Day is?

St Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland. It is celebrated on March 17. People wear green ribbons and shamrocks because green is the national colour of Ireland. The shamrock has three leaves and, according to the legend, St Patrick used it to explain the Holy Trinity.

St Patrick’s Day is also celebrated in other countries, for example in the USA, Britain, Canada and Russia. The biggest parade takes place in Dublin. New York has the world’s oldest St Patrick’s Day parade, and Chicago is famous for dying the city’s river green.
