Saint Patrick celebration is held
on 17th March every year, this year celebration started with parade
across the country.
St. Patrick was not Irish but he
was Romano-British because part of the Britain controlled by the Romans. St.
Patrick captured by the Irish pirates when he was 16 and escaped after six
years.
In Dublin this year St. Patrick
day celebration theme is 'Celebrate Now' which describe the achievements of
Ireland’s contemporary arts and culture.
The parade started at Parnell
Square at midday and ended Dame Street and Lord Edward Street, before finishing
up near St Patrick's Cathedral and was leaded by the Grand Marshal - the
comedian Brendan O'Carroll.
It is expecting that 500000
people took part in the parade and also President Michael D Higgins took part
in the parade on O'Connell Street.
The historians believe in the
blue color, the first national color of Ireland. It was blue, the first color
that associated with the Patrick.
