For the record, March 17 refers to the anniversary of Saint Patrick 's death in 461 AD. Still considered the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick was born in the 4th century in Great Britain. Although the festival's origins were religious, it was not until 1903 that it was finally transformed into a popular festival, when March 17 was officially declared a public holiday in Ireland. And it wasn't until 1931 that the very first St. Patrick's Day parade took place in Ireland.
