Title: St. Patricks day!!
St. Patricks day is an international celebration even though he was an Irish saint. It is particularly popular in Amercia
where they have huge parades and festivals. I think its because the Amercians like Ireland so much- but why shouldn't they? Ireland also have parades and festivals but the 2001 celebrations were posponed until May because of foot and mouth desease. The disease didn't actually reach Ireland but the precations were very strict. It is a tradition to wear shamrock on St. Patricks day and especially in Ireland you wouln't see many people without some!!! There is usually special mass on the day and a parade afterwards.It's a time to sing,dance and be merry. The parties go on late into the night and everywhere is decked with green decorations. It is said that St. Patrick got rid of all the snakes in Ireland but you can believe what you want!! There are many stories about him and he is very well known but one thing is for sure: it's great to be Irish on St. Patricks day!!!
