Mar 09, 2016 06:40PM ● By Erin Frisch
St. Patrick's Day or the Feast of St. Patrick is observed on March 17 as a religious and cultural celebration. It honors Ireland's patron St. Patrick. The date marks the traditional death of the saint. In the early 17th century, it was made an official Christian feast day observed by the Church of Ireland, the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Luthern Church. In America we celebrate by making Irish food and drinking Green Beer. Cheers!
