Saint Patrick's Dayについて
Saint Patrick's Day is a cultural and religious holiday observed on March 17th, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick — the foremost patron saint of Ireland. It has evolved from a Christian feast day into a global celebration of Irish culture.
Saint Patrick (c. 385–461 CE) was a Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. March 17th was observed as a religious feast day in Ireland for centuries before becoming the global cultural phenomenon it is today.
St. Patrick's Day is a public holiday in Ireland and Northern Ireland, and is widely celebrated in countries with large Irish diaspora communities, particularly the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
