St. Patrick's Day commemorates the patron saint of Ireland and is a day to celebrate Irish culture. One tradition is to pinch people who are not wearing the color green. St. Patrick's Day is Tuesday, March 17, 2009 this year. It is a holiday here because of the VAST number of Irish who migrated to the US.
