    St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th each year to honor St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Some key Irish symbols associated with St. Patrick's Day include the shamrock, leprechauns, and harps. The shamrock represents Irish heritage and was thought to have magical powers in ancient Ireland. Leprechauns are mischievous creatures from Irish folklore who love gold. Harps have been an important symbol in Irish culture and history for over 1500 years. The color green and the wearing of green are also significant traditions on St. Patrick's Day due to its association with Ireland, which is often called the "Emerald Isle."
