St. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on March 17th, the anniversary of Saint Patrick’s death. Saint Patrick’s Day is a public holiday in several countries such as the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador and Montserrat. This particular holiday is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora such as Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.
How about the situation about St. Patrick’s Day in the United States. Although it is not a legal holiday in the United States, it is very widely recognized and celebrated throughout the country. It is primarily observed as a celebration of Irish and Irish American culture. You can find celebrations like prominent displays of the color green, feasting, copious consumption of alcohol, religious observances and numerous parades. It is said that the holiday has been celebrated on the North American Continent since the late eighteenth century.
How about the situation in Japan ? Japan is neither Irish diaspora nor countries that have lots of immigrants from Ireland. Nevertheless we can find some celebrations. According to Wikipedia, parades are now held in nine locations across Japan. The first parade in Tokyo was organized by INJ standing for the Irish Network Japan back in 1992. Nowadays parades and other events related to Saint Patrick’s Day spread across the entire month of March.
Getting back to the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day in the United States, what is amazing is not only wearing the green and making floral decoration using green color but also dying even a big river like the Chicago River. Immigrants from Ireland must be very happy with such beautiful activities in America.
