Saint Patrick's Day is a religious holiday celebrated world wide on the 17th March, every year . It is named after the most commonly recognised of the saints of Ireland. It is observed by the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutherans. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early 17th century, and has gradually become a celebration of Irish culture in general.
On this day people of the Christian faith generally attend church services, wearing of green attire and sharmocks. The restrictions on fasting and drinking are lifted which were observed during lent. As muslims we respect others beliefs and religious celebrations. For Muslim, this would remind one of the eid al fitr when you would mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
