The day is generally characterised by the attendance of church services, wearing of green attire, especially shamrocks.
Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland.

One traditional symbol of Saint Patrick's Day is the Shamrock.

"Shamrock" is the common name for several different kinds of three-leafed clovers native to Ireland.

The shamrock was chosen Ireland's national emblem because of the legend that St. Patrick had used it to illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity. The Trinity is the idea that God is really three-in-one: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
The name leprechaun comes from the old Irish word "luchorpan" which means "little body."


A leprechaun is an Irish fairy who looks like a small, old man about 2 feet tall. He is often dressed like a shoemaker, with a crooked hat and a leather apron.
