Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick") is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on 17 March. It is commonly called simply Patrick's Day, or Paddy's Day, or sometimes Saint Paddy's Day.[2] It commemorates Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland, and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland.[1] It is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland),[3] the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early seventeenth century, and has gradually become a celebration of Irish culture in general.[4]

The day is generally characterised by the attendance of church services,[4][5] wearing of green attire[6] and the lifting of Lenten restrictions on eating, and drinking alcohol,[6][7][8] which is often proscribed during the rest of the season.[4][6][7][8]

Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland,[9] Northern Ireland,[10] Newfoundland and Labrador and in Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora, especially in places such as Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, among others. Today, St. Patrick's Day is probably the most widely celebrated saint's day in the world.[11]

Now, I like it even more! Happy St. Paddy's Day!!

Same for me, pretty much.  If I happen to wear green on St. Patrick's Day, it is because I forgot what day it was.

Nope, It's just another day to me. I do not celebrate St. Patricks day.

[quietpal]

I didn't wear green. Just a purple top and blue jeans.

[mrsbluesmith]

I meant to - butI forgot.  Good thing I didn't get pinched!   

[candyterrius]

[schoolvan]

[2getherwewin]

[dwggs]

Of course I could not find my green shirt to wear to work today so I had to settle for a green hat

[pkrahmer]

wearing green is about all i do to celebrate the day. This year however, all I could find with green earrings and a ring!

[Notorious21]

I didn't wear any this year.  Had to work so I say whats the point to go all out on a holiday when you have to be at a job and not have any fun.

[kpopg33k]

haha i just decided to draw a green shamrock on my wrist.  takes the pain out of actually trying to find something green that will somehow match my outfit....*no time for that!

Sometimes but not always.

Only to satisfy the "You're not wearing green so I can pinch you" people. Green socks, green scrunchy, green ring.
