Did you know ...
... what kind of festival St Patrick's Day is?

St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and Northern Ireland. In the 5th century he brought Christianity to Ireland. St Patrick's Day, March 17, has always had a special meaning for the Irish, wherever they live. In Ireland this is a national holiday with parades held all over the country. People of Irish origin come from all over the USA, Canada, Britain and continental Europe to join in the celebration. The biggest parade takes place in Dublin. Participants and spectators wear green ribbons and shamrocks. According to the legend, St Patrick used the shamrock, a plant with three leaves, to explain the Holy Trinity to the Irish. Green is now considered the national colour of Ireland.

St Patrick's Day is celebrated in some other countries as well. New York claims the world's oldest St Patrick's Day parade, first held in 1762. Boston, the most Irish of American cities, has held these parades since 1802. Chicago is famous for dying the city's river green as part of the celebrations. In 1992 St Patrick's Day was first celebrated in Moscow. Thousands of excited Muscovites gathered on Novy Arbat to watch the parade of marching bands, Cossack horsemen and floats representing many Russian and Irish companies. Since then St Patrick's Day has been traditionally celebrated in Moscow.
