Saint Patrick's day traditions

The holiday is celebrated not only in Ireland but also by Irish communities all over the world, particularly in the United States. It is a day of festivities and celebration, often marked by parades, feasting, and the wearing of green, which is associated with Ireland and St. Patrick.

The holiday has religious significance for Catholics, who attend church services and may also observe Lenten fasting and abstaining from alcohol on this day. However, it is primarily a secular holiday that is celebrated with parties, food, and drinks. Traditional Irish foods such as corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread, and Guinness beer are often served on this day.
