What a great idea.
Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick"), is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland.

On St Patrick's Day it is customary to wear shamrocks and/or green clothing or accessories (the "wearing of the green").
