March 17th is a highly significant holiday in Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day. It commemorates the death date of Saint Patrick, the saint who spread Christianity in Ireland, and is celebrated as a Catholic holiday and a public holiday. On Saint Patrick’s Day, people often wear shamrocks on their clothing and attend Mass. The tradition of celebrating this day in Ireland has been passed down for centuries, and it officially became a holiday since 1903, gradually growing as a festival day after Ireland’s independence from Britain.
