Every year on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in many countries throughout the world This holiday honors Saint Patrick, the most recognized of Ireland's patron saints. Saint Patrick worked as a bishop in Ireland and was a key figure in
bringing Christianity to the island country. The holiday started as a Catholic holiday in the 17th century and was taken around the world by Irish immigrants. Nowadays both Irish and non-Irish celebrate it. Traditionally, people wear green during the event. Those who do not wear it are teasingly pinched for not doing so. Our state of South Carolina has its own notable way of making its name in the holiday. The fountain in the area known as Five Points is dyed green. This year the parade will be held on the 19th in Columbia since it is the closest Saturday to the actual holiday. Happy Saint Patrick's Day all ye people out there! Hope to see ye at the parade!
