Introduction. St. Patrickâs Day is celebrated on March 17, the saintâs religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years.
Thanks to Irish immigrants in the United States and elsewhere, St. Patrickâs Day evolved from a religious holiday into a secular celebration of all things Irish. The first St. Patrickâs Day parade was held in New York City in the 1760s, by Irishmen serving there in the British military. During the 19th century, when Irish Catholic immigrants faced discrimination in Protestant-majority America, St. Patrickâs Day parades became an opportunity to show strength in numbers.
