About Saint Patrick's Day
Christian , United Kingdom & Ireland
Ends: Mar 17, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
National Holiday in Ireland. Saint Patrick's Day is a religious holiday that has taken on a life of its own as a celebration of everything Irish. It's prevalent in the United States and an excuse to throw a party, wear green (or you could get pinched), and drink beer, usually dyed green with food coloring. Along with the Super Bowl and New Year's Eve, Saint Patrick's Day is the heaviest alcohol consumption day in the United States.
The true meaning of Saint Patrick's Day is to honor Saint Patrick, who died on March 17, 460 AD.
Saint Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. At age 16, he was kidnapped from England and forced into slavery in Ireland. He escaped, only to return to the Emerald Isle and bring Christianity to the pagan people.
The first St. Patrick's Day celebration occurred in New York City on March 17, 1762. It is one of the few times during the season of Lent that Catholics can break the ban against meat and spirits to celebrate.
So why is Saint Patrick's Day celebrated in over 100 countries today—including Mongolia? Well, marketing. In the 1990s, Guinness, the dark beer of Ireland, began exporting "Irish Pubs" to cities worldwide. Eager entrepreneurs took advantage of the opportunity and support (including pre-made do-it-yourself Irish-style bars and furniture). It proved to be a genius move by Guinness, increasing beer sales and spectacularly exporting Irish culture.
