El primer desfile del Día de San Patricio se realizó en el Estado Libre de Irlanda, en la ciudad de Dublín en 1931 y fue revisado por el entonces Ministro de Defensa Desmond Fitzgerald.

El Trebol es un tipo de hojas pequen~as hecho de 3 petalos, y su nombre comun por las 3 hojas es El Trebol de 3 hojas nativo de Irlanda. Este fue hecho el Simbolo Nacional de Irlanda, porque la leyenda que San Patricio uso para ilustrar la doctrina de la Trinidad. Los Irlandeses los consideran los treboles como de buena suerte, desde tempranas fechas y la gente de hoy en dia de otras nacionalidades la adoptaron esta creencia.

The legend of the  shamrock is also connected with that of the banishment of the serpent tribe from Ireland by a tradition that snakes are never seen on trefoil and that it is a remedy against the stings of snakes and scorpions. The trefoil in Arabia is called shamrakh and was sacred in Iran as an emblem of the Persian triads.

El Duente es Irlandes. El es chaparrito, de edad avanzada( un poco mas de medio metro de estatura),muy a menudo se vestia como un zapatero, con sombrero y un mandil de piel. De acuerdo a la leyenda, los duendes se mantenian a distancia y eran innamigables (antipaticos), vivian solos y pasaban todo el tiempo haciendo zapatos.Ellos poseian una holla de oro pero la tenian aguarda.Los buscadores de tesoros pueden con frecuencia localizar  un duende por medio de los sonidos de sus martillos. Si lo agarras, el puede ser forzado (con la amenaza de que sera golpeado) para revelar el lugar hacerca de la holla de oro, pero el capturador debera mantener sus ojos fijos en los de el en cada momento. Si el capturador mueve sus ojos del duende (porque el  menudo te esta distrayendo para que veas a otro lado), el desaparese y todos esperan encontrar el tesoro que esta perdido. La leyenda dice que puedes encontar al duende y a su olla de oro al final del arcoiris.

A leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán) is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief. Like other fairy creatures, leprechauns have been linked to the Tuatha Dé Danann of Irish mythology.The Leprechauns spend all their time busily making shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If ever captured by a human, the Leprechaun has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for their release. Popular depiction shows the Leprechaun as being no taller than a small child,with a beard and hat, although they may originally have been perceived as the tallest of the mound-dwellers.

In the past, Saint Patrick's Day was celebrated only as a religious holiday. It became a public holiday in 1903, the "Bank Holiday" (Ireland) Act 1903, an Act of Parliament of Great Britain introduced by the Irish MP James O'Mara.

March 17th is Saint Patrick's Day, when the death of St. Patrick, or St. Patrick, who is the patron saint of Ireland is commemorated. In the United States Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in style because many Americans are of Irish origin. Today it is celebrated by almost anyone, whether or not Irish ancestry.

March 17 marks the day of St. Patrick, patron of Ireland. St. Patrick was born in 387 in Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland. His father was an officer in the Roman army. Irish pirates took prisoner the young Patrick 16 and sold him into slavery. He spent six years in Ireland, where he learned to speak the Celtic language. He managed to escape and went to France to prepare for the monastic life, and became a priest. When he was 46 years old he decided to return to Ireland to evangelize the locals. And there he remained for almost three decades, until his death on March 17 of the year 461.
