What holiday is March 17th?

St. Patrick's Day

An Irish holiday. The festival is March 17th. Saint Patrick is said to have been a Christian preacher. In 422, the Pope sent him to Ireland to convert the Irish to Christianity. When he came ashore from Wicklow to preach, the local pagans angrily tried to stone him to death, but he showed no fear and calmly picked a three-leaf clover tree, vividly illustrating the Trinity of the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son. The Irish were deeply moved by his teachings and converted to Christianity. St. Patrick died on March 17, 493. In order to commemorate him, the Irish designated this day as St. Patrick's Day. After the 18th century, as a large number of Irish immigrants entered the United States, St. Patrick's Day also became an important holiday in the United States. St. Patrick's Day is a joyful holiday. On this day, people hold celebratory parades, church activities and public dinners to celebrate. The Irish in the United States also like to wear clover on this day, decorate their rooms with Ireland's national color - green and yellow, wear green clothes, and present souvenirs such as clover, chocolate harps, long-handled pipes to guests.
