• Although it is rooted in Christianity, St. Patrick’s Day is now just as much a celebration of Irish culture and heritage.
• Celebrations often involve feasting and parades through the towns.
• People wear shamrocks and wear green, because the shamrock is associated with St. Patrick, as he used it to explain the idea of the Holy Trinity.
