每年3月17日圣帕特里克节，是爱尔兰的国庆节。它是为了纪念一位在5世纪时将基督教传入爱尔兰的圣人——圣帕特里克。传说，是他将蛇赶出了爱尔兰，也是他使遍地生长的“三叶草”成为这个国家的象征。
Saint Patrick"s Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland， Northern Ireland， Newfoundland and Labradｏｒand in Montserrat。 It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora， especially in places such as Great Britain， Canada， the United States， Argentina， Australia， and New Zealand， among others。 Today， St。 Patrick"s Day is probably the most widely celebrated saint"s day in the world。
