You've probably seen parades and green beer around March 17th, but there's more to St. Patrick's Day than just shamrocks and leprechauns. You'll learn how this ancient religious feast transformed into a global party, and why some common traditions aren't as Irish as you think.
St. Patrick's Day is a global phenomenon, celebrated by millions far beyond Ireland's shores every March 17th.
While it originated as a religious feast day in Ireland, it's now a major cultural holiday worldwide, particularly in countries with large Irish diasporas like the United States, Canada, and Australia.
