Let's wear green today!. St. Patrick's Day
Millions of people with Irish heritage across the globe today celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The country's patron saint introduced Christianity to Ireland around 432 CE, and his passing on March 17, 461 CE, became a day of commemoration in his homeland.
The holiday holds cultural significance in Canada especially in cities where people who claim Irish ancestry reside like, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Quebec. The country's first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in 1824 in Montreal. The modern celebration typically includes parades, traditional Irish music and dance performances, wearing green clothes and indulging in Irish cuisine and beverages. Have you pinned a shamrock to your jacket yet?
