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.
Catholic University's Irish American expert, Timothy Meagher, explains that St. Patrick's Day celebrations began in the 18th century in American cities with large Irish immigrant populations. It becomes a way to honor the saint but also to confirm ethnic identity and to create bonds of solidarity, Meagher explained.
