St. Patrick's Day is a celebration held every year on March 17. Originally a religious feast day (the "Feast of Saint Patrick", the foremost patron saint of Ireland), it has developed into a celebration of Irish heritage and culture generally. It is celebrated with festivals, parades and dancing by the Irish diaspora in many countries around the world. It is customary to wear green clothing or accessories, the color most associated with Ireland. The Lenten restriction of fasting is lifted for this day, encouraging the consumption of alcohol.

St. Patrick's Day, also spelled Saint Patrick's Day and sometimes colloquial referred to as "St. Paddy's Day", is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It is one of the four Saints' days of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom:
