Saint Patrick's Day is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.
 
The day is the national holiday of Ireland.  In the rest of Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.
 
Many Irish people still wear a bunch of shamrocks on their lapels or caps on this day. Girls and boys wear green in their hair. Artists draw shamrock designs on people's cheeks as a cultural sign, including American tourists.


I was so excited to see the St. Patrick's Day parade in Boston downtown yesterday.  


The Chicago River is dyed green each year for the St. Patrick's Day celebration, shown here in 2008.

Shamrock ("three-leaf clover") is the symbol of St. Patrick's Day.
