The Declaration of Independence was actually issued on the 2nd of July, 1776, but by the time anyone through to commemorate the anniversary in 1777, they were one day too late, so the observance began the following day, July 4th, and has remained as such ever since.

Comments(0) St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day, and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century.
The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years, crediting Patrick with bringing Christianity to Ireland, and performing many miracles.
On St. Patrick’s Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon.
Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage. It has now become corned beef and cabbage, and the celebration has spread throughout the world as the Irish have immigrated to every corner of the globe and brought their customs with them.
