Patron saint celebrations to be felt around the world
St. Patrick's Day, celebrated globally on March 17th, commemorates Ireland's patron saint, St. Patrick, and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Originally a religious feast, it has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with events, food, and drink. Donald Trump will host Irish Taoiseach Michael Martin. Celebrations occur worldwide, including London and Melbourne. St. Patrick, a 5th-century missionary, died on this day in 461.
