Paddy's Day !

I can't do a blog about my trip in Ireland without talking about the St Patrick's day !


Some History...
Saint Patrick's Day, also called "Paddy's Day" is a religious day celebrated particularly in Ireland on the 17 of March since 1737. Nevertheless, it is also celebrated in places such as Canada, Britain, Australia, the United States and New Zealand. It commemorates the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland who is credited with bringing christianity to Ireland. 


How is it celebrated ?
There are Parades, processions, and everybody were green stuff (it can be a green shirt, hat, scarf... etc!)
