Saint Patrick's Day or the Feast of Saint Patrick ("the Day of the Festival of Patrick") is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on the 17th of March. It is named after Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland.
At Sticky Fingers in Marina Vallarta the shenanigans are taken to another level. Vallarta Today is live at the festivities keeping our eyes open for that pot of gols one of the Leprechauns carry in!
Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early seventeenth century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, as well as celebrating the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, céilithe, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks. Christians also attend church services and the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption.
Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador and Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora around the world; especially in Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.
At Stickys, beginning around noon the leprechauns begin arriving in all shades of green. little green ears, little green noses and pots of 4 leaf shamrocks for luck.
Irish green jello shots, food with a Mexican / Irish flair by 3pm Syickies is packed wall top wall, dancing Irish Jigs. Vallarta Today staff and journalists are live at Stickys now! Come join the fun!
