  1. Why St Patrik's day is a big day in USA? I knew it was a big day in Ireland but not in USA...

    1. Good question! St.Patrick is the patron of Ireland and in the United States there are a lot of Irish immigrants (Irish people who emigrated to the States to have a better life). Therefore, American people celebrate St.Patrick's day in March with parades and festivals.
