Saint Patrick, origin and tradition:

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated every year by Irish people around the world. It is one of the most anticipated events in Ireland but do you really know its origins?

We have to go far back in time to find where this event originated. Indeed, this story would have started in the 5th century, when the missionary Saint Patrick brought Christianity to Irish territory. This mission will earn him the title of "Patron Saint of Ireland". In addition, the clover is the symbol of Saint Patrick's Day because the latter used a clover to explain the Holy Trinity.

Saint Patrick's Day customs and traditions:

St Patrick's Day begins with a grand parade through the streets of Irish cities. This is followed by 5 days of festivities across the country. Don't get me wrong... It's not only on the small European island that we celebrate this event. It is true that from Dublin to Montreal, via New York and Chicago, large-scale events such as the coloring of a river or the gathering of hundreds of thousands of people on the famous Fifth Avenue are elements allowing Irish people to share their culture and their traditions by highlighting dishes, drinks such as beer.

How and where to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day in Luxembourg?

Indeed, establishments such as the “Come à la maison”, the “Irish Pub & Restaurant Eirelux” as well as the “Updown Bar” or the “Irish Club of Luxembourg” will open their doors to you.
