St. Patrick’s Day, or the Feast of St. Patrick, is an annual holiday held on March 17th, in honor of the foremost patron saint of Ireland. St Patrick’s Day, while not a legal holiday in the United States, is still widely recognised and observed throughout the country as a celebration of Irish and Irish-American culture. The holiday has been celebrated in North America since the late 18th century.
