Roman Catholic AnswerOne of the things that the Church does when it recognizes a saint is to assign a Mass, usually on the anniversary of their death "their birthday into heaven" as it were. St. Patrick's Day is on the 17th of March. As St. Patrick is the patron saint of the Irish, that day is a Holy Day of Obligation in Ireland, people are released from their Lenten fasting, they have a dispensation from Rome if the day falls on a Friday. In Ireland, it is a holy day when everyone goes to Mass.
