Saint Patrick is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland.

Legend has it that St. Patrick explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaves of a native Irish clover, the Shamrock.

Today, the St. Patrick’s Day parade in New York City is the world’s oldest civilian parade and the largest in the United States.

Each year on St. Patrick’s Day, the city of Chicago dyes the Chicago River green.

Currently, approximately 1 million people annually take part in Ireland’s St. Patrick’s Festival in Dublin with parades, concerts, outdoor theater productions and fireworks shows.

    My daughter is actually marching in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland with her High School marching band. While running around setting up for Sunday morning I’m going to try and watch it on my I Phone through the parade app!!
