St Patrick's Day

St Patrick's day is coming closer (17th March) and most places where there is a big Irish community are getting ready to celebrate it. Of course, Ireland will start first, on the 12th, that is today, with big events in Dublin and Limerick:





In the UK, Trafalgar Square in London will have its own celebration, although Manchester claims the biggest parade in the UK this year.



Birmingham, Liverpool, and many other cities around Britain will also be celebrating this day.




And of course New York and other major cities around the globe where Irish people are settled.

But watch out even in the smallest of places, as you might get a celebration of Saint Patrick's Day either at your local Irish pub or in students' flats where there is a single Irishman/Irishwoman.

Here is a web where you can find all the symbols associated with Ireland and St Patrick, along with more information about this celebration:


If you see them in your city or village, you might be able to join in the celebration...
