The onset of March not only signals the beginning of spring, but the growing anticipation of the day celebrating the foremost patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. Today’s collection of coloring pages features symbols, icons and festivity associated with St Patrick’s Day, held annually on March 17.
Saint Patrick’s Day, also known as St Paddy’s Day or St Patty’s Day, is the death anniversary of the 5th century Christian priest and missionary who is known to have been instrumental in spreading Christianity in Ireland, converting the pagan Irish in large numbers.
In the early 17th century St Patrick’s Day was officially recognized as a Christian feast day. Over the years, the celebration has undergone several interpretations through the generations of Irish diaspora. Modern celebrations include public parades and festivals with focus on highlighting traditional Irish food, culture and identity, with most people dressed in green and wearing shamrocks.
