Do you know St Patrick's Day?

St. Patrick's Day happens on March 17th in many parts of the world. It is originally a holiday from Ireland but is now celebrated by both Irish and non-Irish people. Parades, wearing green clothing, and an Irish feast are all customs for this day. A common American"Irish" dinner is corned beef & cabbage. Another favorite meal is one that is all green. Some food is naturally green and other food is tinted with green food coloring.

Different cities celebrate St. Patrick's Day in different ways. In Dublin, iconic buildings are lit up in a green color. In London, they have a mile-long parade. New York City has the oldest and also the biggest St. Patrick's Day parade in the US. The city of Chicago turns the main river green, using 20 kilos of green dye.
