St. Patrick's Day is the National Holiday of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It is celebrated in honour of Saint Patrick, a Christian missionary born in the 4th century and the primary patron saint of Ireland. Originally, St. Patrick's Day was a church celebration but it has since turned into a celebration of Irishness in many countries around the globe.
