Hello guys, today I’m going to tell you about Saint Patrick's Day. Saint Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March. It’s the day in memory of Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. When people celebrate it, they usually go to public parades and festivals. They wear of green attire or shamrocks. People don’t eat or drink alcohol that day. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival. In America celebrations include displays of the color green numerous parades, and consumption of alcohol. I Russia, the country I am from, celebration includes big military style festivals. It didn’t say anything about consumption of alcohol or food. So Saint Patrick's Day is really similar in US and Ireland and I have an explanation for it. Ireland started to celebrate it in 17yh century, US in 18th century. Indeed Russia just started to celebrate it 20 years ago.We are just picking up the traditions of Saint Patrick’s Day. I hope that in future Saint Patrick’s Day is going to be more developed in Russia.
