Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick (in Gaelic Lá Fhéile Pádraig) is a celebration held on the traditional death date of Saint Patrick.  The first St Patrick's Day parade was held in New York City on March 17, 1762. Irish families have traditionally celebrated the feast of St Patrick as a religious holiday for thousands of years—a break during the season of Lent when prohibitions were lifted for one day.  Enjoy the day with our selection of delicious recipes!
