As millions across the globe prepare to celebrate Ireland's national holiday, nowhere are the celebrations more lavish than in the United States, where everyone, including the president, goes green for St Patrick's Day.
From the town of Savannah, Georgia, to San Francisco in California, without forgetting Boston and New York, where the Irish have left an indelible mark, beer will be flowing freely at pubs Friday while parties and parades have been organized to toast the shamrock.
Many of the country's Irish bishops have given their parishioners special one-day dispensation from Lenten rules that prohibit Roman Catholics from eating meat on Friday.
