HALE, a festejar vestidos de VERDE :)
Saint
Patrick's Day, or the Feast
of Saint Patrick (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig,
"the Day of the Festival of Patrick"), is a cultural and religious
celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461),
the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
Saint
Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast
day in the early 17th century and
is observed by the Catholic
Church, the Anglican (especially
the Church of Ireland) the Eastern
Orthodox Church, and Lutheran
Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and
celebrates the heritage and
culture of the Irish in general. Celebrations generally involve public
parades and festivals, céilithe,
and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks.
Christians also attend church
services and the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking
alcohol are lifted for the day,
which has encouraged and propagated the holiday's tradition of alcohol
consumption.
Saint
Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic
of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the
British Overseas Territory of Montserrat.
It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora around the world, especially
in Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand. Saint Patrick's Day is
celebrated in more countries than any other national
festival. Modern celebrations
have been greatly influenced by those of the Irish
diaspora, particularly those that developed in North America. In recent years,
there has been criticism of Saint Patrick's Day celebrations for having become
too commercialized and for fostering negative stereotypes of the Irish.
