St.Patrick's Day is the saints day for Ireland. To many in the world it is the saints day, or the feast day of Saint Patrick a cultural festival celebration held on 17th of March the day Saint Patrick died. However, to me, the irish and people all over Birmingham it is the Best Day of the year. It is the day i have celebrated for years and the one day when you are sure to bump into everyone and anyone you've ever grown up with and more. Typically kids under the age of 15 celebrate it with their families and parents but as a right of passage once you turn 16 you find fake id and head over to the pubs to dance, sing and drink from 10am until the early hours of the monday morning. Ever since i was 16 i have taken part in this celebration and yet as an english teenager i still find it normal to celebrate paddy's day more than St.George's Day.
St.Patrick's Day is the day set in the calendar for all those who have grown up with this tradition. As the years have gone by more and more people attend and the tradition for all day drinking and singing has grown. I loved visiting home for St.Patrick's Day as i got to see all my friends who have moved away to University, family and new friends to people i know. Paddy's Day is the day in which you meet new and old friends and have a toast to Ireland. A time for friendship. 2015 Paddy's was truly the best one yet, so many friendships rekindled and so many memories created with the people i love.
Until next year Paddy's.
