Follow @gsbrownabc. The Dublin Airport Facebook page posted this notice clarifying that it's Saint Paddy's Day, not Saint Patty's Day. (DublinAirport/Facebook). Here's a PSA from the Dublin Airport: Don't call it St. Patty's Day. Also, March 17 should never be referred to as Patty's Day either. You may, however, call it St. Paddy's Day, or Paddy's Day. Also acceptable are the traditional St. Patrick's Day and Patrick's Day.
Why was March 17 chosen as the day to celebrate St. Patrick and Ireland? iStock Have you ever wondered why St. Patrickâs Day is celebrated on March 17 specifically? As it turns out, Irelandâs is celebrated on March 17 because that is the day St. Patrick himself died. The man who brought Christianity to Ireland is believed to have died in the small village of Saul in 461 AD, not far from the town of Downpatrick in Co. Down where he is reputedly buried.
