Hy everyone!
Today I am going to speak about an Irish holiday. Are you excited??? Me too...Does anybody know what is St. Patrick's Day? The holiday is held on March 17. It began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland and has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green. Everyone is wearing green cloth, and many people even dye their hair in green. St. Patrick’s Day falls during the Christian season of Lent. Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were canceled and people would dance, drink, and feast–on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage. This feast is very important to the Irish families because it’s a day for parades, for singing traditional songs, for eating colcannon and corned beef. People have a lot of fun there!
Unfortunately, in my country St. Patrick’s Day is not that common and popular. In March we celebrate other famous feast such as "Woman's Day." Boys usually present flowers and different presents to the girls. It is very exciting feast too and is held on March 8.
I hope you liked my blog, and I will be waiting for your comments!
