St Paddy's day is a religious holiday, feast and the anniversary of Saint Patricks death. The Irish have observed this holiday for over a thousand years. On St. Paddy's day the Irish traditionally eat, drink and dance. The traditional meal was Irish bacon and cabbage.
The first St. Patricks day parade was not in Ireland but in the United States on March 17,1762. Today the parade is the oldest and largest civilian parade in the United States. Nearly three million people line the route to watch the procession.
Today, St. Paddy's day is celebrated by people of all backgrounds.
