Twenty-six Saint Patrick’s Day Puns
Saint Patrick’s Day is on 17 March. March 17 commemorates the death of Ireland’s patron saint, Saint Patrick. Also, the day recognizes Christianity’s arrival in Ireland and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish people in general.
Historically, the Lent restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol were lifted for the day, which has encouraged and promoted the holiday’s tradition of alcohol consumption. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival.
