ST PATRICK`S DAY



For Irish people March, 17 is an important day - it`s the feast(püha) day of St. Patrick -the patron saint (kaitsepühak) of Ireland.


The symbol of Ireland is the SHAMROCK( ristikhein).


In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch(kimp) of shamrocks on their jackets or caps.
Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons(linte) in their hair.



In Dublin (the capital of Ireland), there is a huge St. Patrick’s Day festival from March 15-19.

A parade, family carnivals, treasure hunt, dance, theatre and more interesting things are held during this time.
