∙ 8y agoPotatoes, potatoes and more potatoes. Also did I mention potatoes? Parades, parties, national games, and religious services etc. Why? A sense of national identity and pride, of togetherness. When? In Ireland on March 17th and sometimes the Sunday closest to it, such as if the 17th was a Saturday or Monday.
To expand on the why:
Its true meaning is as a time-honored day for spiritual regeneration and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide. Saint Patrick's Day is always celebrated on the 17th March. Many believe Saint Patrick died on this day. The day is a religious holiday, so along with many businesses closing for the day (with the exception being restaurants and pubs), many Irish people attend mass. It is because it is supposed to be the day Saint Patrick died. It is also a good Irish excuse to drink a whole ton of beer.

∙ 7y agoFrequently the feast day of the saint is the date he/she died. However, with Patrick we are not even sure of the year he died, much less the date. When this occurs, the Church Fathers can choose any day of the year, as was the case of St. Patrick.
