Saint Patrick's Day [or] St. Patrick's Day

 
pronunciation:
seInt pae trihks deI
part of speech: noun
definition: Saint Patrick's Day is a holiday when people from Ireland celebrate the coming of Christianity to their country. Saint Patrick's Day is on March 17 every year. In the United States, people whose family came from Ireland celebrate being Irish, and people who are not Irish enjoy pretending to be Irish for just one day! They do this by wearing green, which is a symbol of Ireland.
