Crowds are the festivities for Saint Patrick to commemorate the death of the patron saint of Ireland
England celebrates a set of special days in each month related to its history and traditions of all kinds, which are enjoyed full of excitement and celebration.
Precisely, among the main holidays in England for the month of March we have:
Saint david's day
It is celebrated on March 1 in honor of Saint David (Dewi Sant), who is the patron saint of Wales. He was a Celtic monk, abbot and bishop, who lived in the XNUMXth century and who spread the word of Christianity throughout Wales.
Saint David's Day is commemorated by the use of daffodils or leeks. Both plants are traditionally considered national emblems. There are many explanations of how the leek was produced to be adopted as the national emblem of Wales.
The most widespread is that St David advised the Welsh, on the eve of the battle with the Saxons, to wear leeks in their covers to distinguish friend from foe.
Saint Patrick's day
It is celebrated on March 17 in Ode Ireland, in honor of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, but it is a holiday that has spread to all of Great Britain.
Saint Patrick is credited with having introduced Christianity to Ireland. She was born in Wales somewhere around the year 385. She was kidnapped by pirates and spent six years in slavery before escaping and training as a missionary.
He died on March 17 in 461 and today has already been commemorated as St. Patrick's Day. It should be noted that the national emblem of Ireland is the Shamrock. Saint Patrick used the three-leaf clover to explain how the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could exist as separate parts of the same being.
That is why St. Patrick's Day is marked by the use of shamrocks (a similar clover plant) and is celebrated with parades in large cities where the characteristic is to dress in green.
