Answer 1

Every year on the seventeenth of March, people around the world celebrate St Patrick's Day. It's the death date of the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. He was a missionary who brought Christianity to the Irish people. There are many legends about him. One of them says that Saint Patrick used a shamrock to explain the mystery of the Holy Trinity to the Irish pagans. Today, the green shamrock is the symbol of Ireland and many people wear something green on St Patrick's Day. If you forget to wear green, you can get pinched. In Dublin, the capital of Ireland, there is a five-day St Patrick's Day Festival. There are wonderful parades, performances and dances. The first parade was not in Dublin but in New York. It started in 1762. The celebrations are now held in many different countries around the world and everyone who is Irish at heart can join the fun.
