St Patrick's Day, which celebrates Ireland's patron saint, takes place tomorrow. Ireland's global greening event, where landmarks across the world are lit up for St Patrick's Day tomorrow, is also expected to go ahead. The St Patrick's Day festival page for Dublin lists all events as cancelled. The move was considered essential ahead of the traditionally busy St Patrick's day, reports the Irish Times. St Patrick's day celebrates Ireland's patron saint, who was a slave in Ireland before he escaped to England and later returned to convert the country to christianity.
