St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) has very gradually grown into a worldwide phenomenon. Ask any person on the streets of England when St. George’s Day is (England’s very own Patron Saint) and very few would be able to tell you. They would, on the other hand, be far more likely to be able to tell you when St. Patrick’s Day is. It is difficult to ascertain why this holiday has grown in popularity the way that it has. Perhaps it is how it has been portrayed in popular films and TV Shows. Perhaps it is the lack of pomp and circumstance connected with the day itself -the only basic requirement is to wear green and drink beer. But nevertheless, March 17th is a day when people clad themselves in green and pubs fill up for the evening. Not just in the US but it many parts of the world. In this month’s blog we’ll take a very quick look at this holiday, its origins and how and where it is celebrated.
