  1. Festival Customs - Saint Patrick's Day

    Share Share Post
    Saint Patrick's Day occur's on the seventeenth of March. It is a holiday of obligation. It was upon that day Saint Patrick died. It is not kept holy in any other country.
    Early that morning they go out picking the shamrock and they wear it on their coats. The shopkeepers sell a lot of broaches in which the image of Saint Patrick's head is.
    On that day there are processions and on that day also there are matches played in Croke-Parke in Dublin
