Wisdom, kindness and love to the people have made St. Patrick
one of the respectable saint in the world and that's why St. Patrick's
Day is celebrated each year 17th of March as a day of delight, happiness
and gaiety from Dublin to Sydney, from New York to Moscow.
This holiday traditionally celebrated in green clothes,
because this color is the symbol of spring, Ireland and the shamrock. Sometimes
St. Patrick's Day is associated with Leprechaun - Irish fairy, a small
man often dressed like a shoemaker, with a cocked hat and a leather apron.
His portraits are everywhere on this day: on the T-shirts, posters, emblems
etc.
