It is the annual feast day to celebrate Saint Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland and a national holiday in Ireland. Since thousands of years, the Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday which falls during the Christian season of Lent.

Since today is Saint Patrick's Day I thought I will include information about it from different resources:

The History Channel

The beautiful Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York City on Fifth Avenue between 50th and 51st streets.
