St. Patrick day

St. Patrick day is the death date of Saint Patrick. St. Patrick day is a celebration all around the world. Every year, people needs to wear green. During that day, people also drink alcohol. The St Patrick's Day custom of 'drowning the shamrock' or 'wetting the shamrock' was very popular, especially in Ireland. At the end of the celebrations, shamrock is put into the bottom of a cup, which is then filled with whiskey, beer or cider. It is then drank as a toast; to St Patrick, to Ireland, or to those present. The shamrock would either be swallowed with the drink, or be taken out and tossed over the shoulder for good luck. Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States also celebrate St. Patrick day.
