St. Patrick’s Day will take place on Tuesday, March 17, 2015.

St. Patrick’s Day started as a feast day that honors the Irish Saint Patrick. The holiday is held on the day of the man’s death and it includes wearing green. Traditional food to eat on this day include bacon and cabbage, reports History.com.

St. Patrick’s Day may have got its origins in Ireland, but the parades started in America. The first parade for the holiday was held on March 17, 1762. It was made up of Irish soldiers serving in the English military. They marched through New York City. The official parade for the holiday first happened in the year 1848, History.com notes.

One St. Patrick’s Day tradition is to pinch anyone that doesn’t wear green on the holiday. “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” is a common phrase that can be seen on shirts and other apparel that is worn on the holiday.
