The littlegirlexclaims, 'I'm not Irish!', to which the policemanreplies, 'Youdon'thave to be Irish to be Irish!' Saint Patrick's Day is the nationalday of Ireland. Every 17 March, the dayiscelebratedaround the globe by millions of people, Irish and not-so-lrish.
- Didyouknowthat Saint Patrick himself was not actuallyIrish? It isthoughtthat he was either Scottish orWelsh, coming from a wealthy Christian family. Ancient documentssuggestthat, as a teenager, he was taken by Irishpirates to work as a slave in Ireland. Once in hisnew country, he began to talk to IrishpeopleaboutGod, introducinghis Christian beliefs to the country.
- Oldlegendssaythat, years ago, Irelandhad a lot of snakes and that Saint Patrick usedhispowers to chase themallinto the sea. To thisday, Irelandhasmanyoldstatues of Saint Patrick, often with snakesathisfeet. Apparently, thisiswhyIrelandhas no native species of snakes (though most scientistssuggestthatthisfactcould be morerelated to geographicalreasons!).
- March 17 is a day for hugecelebrations in Ireland. However, due to Ireland'shistory of emigration, manypeoplearound the worldconsiderthemselves to be partlyIrishbecause of theirancestralconnections. Thismeansthat Saint Patrick's Day partiestake place around the world, from Boston to Tokyo, Sydney to Buenos Aires. In fact. Saint Patrick's Day iscelebrated in morecountriesthananyothernationalfestival.

Often the paradesinclude big lorries, speciallydecorated in green. Many of the world's major citieshaveenormousparades. The largestis in New York, where 150,000 peopleparticipate in the parade and millions of peoplewatch. The secondlargestis in Dublin, Ireland'scapitalcity.
6.Ireland itselfis a relatively small country with fewcities. However, most of itstowns and villageshavetheirown 'mini' parades. Sometimes, thesesimplyinclude a fewtractors and the children from the localschool. The shortestknownparadeused to take place in the village of Dripsey, in southern Ireland. The length of the parade was just 23 metres, between the village'stwopubs. However, the Dripseyparadecame to an end when one of the twopubssadlyclosed down!
7.Another well-knownaspect of Saint Patrick's Day is the colourgreen. Around the world, manypeopleweargreenclothes as a way of marking the day. In major cities, greenlightsilluminatefamousgloballandmarkssuch as the Colosseum in Rome or the Christ The Redeemerstatue in Rio de Janeiro.
