Best Answer
St. Patrick's Irish Credentials

St. Patrick was born somewhere in Britain, but he is the patron saint of Ireland. He brought Christianity to Ireland (the Emerald Isle). St Patrick's Day, 17th March every year is the National Holiday of Ireland, North and South. It is also a public holiday in Montserrat.

Every year Saint Patrick celebrations take place in Ireland and around the world, notably New York, Boston, Chicago, Montreal.
