What is St. Patrick's Day?

St. Patrick’s Day observes of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinking and a whole lot of green.

WHY DO WE CELEBRATE IT?

In the 18th century, Irish patriotism among American immigrants flourished, prompting the rise of so-called “Irish Aid” societies like the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick and the Hibernian Society. Each group would hold annual parades featuring bagpipes (which actually first became popular in the Scottish and British armies) and drums.
In 1848, several New York Irish Aid societies decided to unite their parades to form one official New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Today, that parade is the world ‘s oldest civilian parade and the largest in the United States, with over 150,000 participants. Each year, nearly 3 million people line the 1.5-mile parade route to watch the procession, which takes more than five hours. Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Savannah also celebrate the day with parades involving between 10,000 and 20,000 participants each.

WHO ELSE AROUND THE WORLD CELEBRATES ST. PATRICK'S DAY?

Today, people of all backgrounds celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, especially throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. Although North America is home to the largest productions, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated around the world in locations far from Ireland, including Japan, Singapore and Russia.

St. Patrick's Day Recipes

Among the most popular St. Patrick's Day recipes are Irish soda bread, corned beef with cabbage and champagne.

IRISH SODA BREAD! This bread is very delicious, quick and easy to prepare. This traditional bread does not use yeast like other types of breads, instead it gets its texture and body from the chemical process of baking soda and buttermilk.
