St. Patrick's Day in United States |
|
|
|
It largely celebrates Irish-American culture in the United States, and
the use of the color green is predominant. The Irish have observed this
day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years.
On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage. |
