Question

Most people who celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day aren’t Irish. Every year on March 17, hundreds of thousands of people celebrate this Irish all over the world. There are parades in New York, London, and Tokyo. There are all-night parties in Argentina. People and have fun in the streets of Australia and New Zealand. And of course, there are some celebrations in Ireland, too.

What is Saint Patrick’s Day? Saint Patrick was a priest hundreds of years ago who made many Irish people Christianity(基督教). He was actually born in Britain, but he has become an important in Irish culture. There are many stories about him, killing all the snakes in Ireland and speaking with Irish ancient kings. Saint Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday to remember , but today it is also a day for celebrating Ireland and Irish culture in general. So do people celebrate it? The most way is to wear something green. Green is one of the colors of the Irish flag, and Ireland is also famous for its beautiful green countryside. If you forget to wear green, you may get pinched(捏、掐), pinching people who forget to wear green is another Saint Patrick’s Day tradition. But perhaps the second most common way to celebrate, if you are enough, is to drink lots and lots of Irish beer. Remember only adults can drink beer. Otherwise, you will be punished for being too young.
