Get set to add a green tinge to your Saturday.

March 17 is St Patrick’s Day, where millions of people around the world join together to celebrate the most important Irish Day.

St Patrick’s Day is a global celebration of Irish culture.

The day particularly toasts Irish patron saint St Patrick, who ministered Christianity in Ireland during the fifth century.

St Patrick’s Day began as a religious feast day in the 17^th century.

The most common St Patrick’s Day symbol is the Shamrock.

The Shamrock features the leaf of the cover plant and represents the Holy Trinity.

Later, the day grew into a variety of festivals and celebrations across the globe, including Australia.

Australians join together annually on March 17 to enjoy a range of Irish traditions.

These traditions include dressing up in green, drinking copious amounts of Guinness, gulping down Irish stew and lots of dancing.

If you’re keen to belt out a tune, there are plenty of songs dedicated to St Patrick’s Day, including Celtic Woman’s classic Danny Boy.

What better way to warm up for Ireland’s biggest day!
