Celebrating St.Patrick's Day: How it moved from Ireland to American culture.

St. Patrick's Day is a celebration of Irish heritage, celebrated all over the world. It's a big deal in the United States, where people have parades and dye things green.

The holiday started as a religious day in Ireland, honoring Saint Patrick. Irish immigrants brought the tradition to America, where it became more of a big celebration.

Saint Patrick wasn't actually Irish, but he is Ireland's patron saint. He was born in the late fourth century and helped spread Christianity in Ireland.

The first St. Patrick's Day parade in America was held in New York City in 1762. Over time, the American way of celebrating influenced how it's celebrated in Ireland, too.

For Irish immigrants, celebrating St. Patrick's Day was a way to feel at home in America. It was a way to show their culture and be a part of their new country.
