St. Patrick's Day Promos

St. Patrick's Day has become one of the most worldwide celebrated holidays. As the popular saying goes, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day! Historically, St. Patrick's Day is the feast day that celebrates Saint Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, on March 17th each year. In Ireland the day is observed as a religious holiday, although secular celebrations have increased in recent years, such as the Saint Patrick's Festival which lasted for five days in 2006. It is important to note that this holiday as a celebration of Irish culture is only observed in the Republic of Ireland and not Northern Ireland. In many countries, such as the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated by all kinds of people. The day is marked by parades, wearing green, eating Irish food, and frequenting Irish pubs and bars. Decorations include shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold, and rainbows.
