Today is Saint Patrick’s day.

Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland.

Every year, on the 17th of March, Irish and British people celebrate his day.

Many other English speaking countries such as America and Canada also join in.

The shamrock is the symbol of Ireland, it’s green and this is why, on this day, people wear green clothes.

Saint Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland. It celebrates Irish culture.

People hold parades and dance and sing. It’s a good day to have fun! Why not dress in green or go to the pub with your friends!
