12 Free Green Background Patterns for St. Patrick’s Day
With just a week to St. Patrick’s Day, we decided to come up with some green background patterns to celebrate this day. Celebrated every 17th day of March, St. Patrick’s day or the Feast of Saint Patrick is a cultural and religious event in Ireland as well as in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the British Overseas Territory of Montserrat. This feast is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora around the world, especially in Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand.
It is customary to wear shamrocks or green clothing or accessories on St. Patrick’s day. According to traditional belief, shamrock and green also bring good luck, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. People also hold public parades and festivals to celebrate this day. Since March also falls on Lenten season for Catholics, restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day. This encourages and propagates the holiday’s tradition of alcohol consumption. So even if you don’t really come from Irish ancestry, let us have a little bit of Irish in us on St. Patrick’s Day.
