St. Patrick's Day
| In the
1990s, the Irish government began to use St. Patrick's Day as a way to
encourage tourism and showcase Ireland to the rest of the world. It began
with a one-day festival in Dublin but has been expanded to several days of
parades, concerts, outdoor theater productions and fireworks shows. During
one day of the festival, the Irish green the city" and illuminate iconic
buildings in the verdant color. Wherever in the world you are celebrating the
holiday. |
| When
Irish Eyes Are Smiling, sure'tis like a morn in spring. Get some eyes smiling
with our St. Patrick's Day costumes. Celebrated on March 17, it is a secular
and religious day that honors the patron saint of Ireland, who is believed to
have died on March 17, 461. In recent years, it has also become a celebration
of Irish culture both in Ireland, as well as around the world in places where
the Irish have immigrated such as North America, Japan, Russia, Australia and
Singapore. |
