The celebration of Saint Patrick dyes the streets of Dublin and half the world green every March 17.
This festivity of the patron saint of Ireland has had more followers each time since it became popular in the 90s.
The festivity of Saint Patrick pays tribute to the one who was a missionary and preacher between the 4th and 5th centuries. In addition, Saint Patrick did a great job so that Catholicism grew in those years in Ireland.
In fact, one of the most representative symbols of the Saint Patrick’s Day party is the shamrock. According to tradition, it was the saint himself who used this plant to explain with its three leaves the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
The celebration of Saint Patrick takes place every March 17 because it is the date that this representative of the Catholic Church died. Specifically, it was March 17, 461.
The festival of Saint Patrick also coincides each year with the date of the founding of the Republic of Ireland.
Hence, in 1931, the first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the Irish Free State was also held in Dublin.
For three decades the festival of Saint Patrick outside of Ireland has also been very popular.
The colonies of Irish emigrants in countries like the United States, Australia, Canada, Argentina or Chile began to popularize this festivity to this day.
The party of San Patricio and the green color in the clothes of its celebration are an essential element. In the same way as the clover symbol. However, in the first editions of the festivity of Saint Patrick, the blue color was the dominant one.
