Find Your Pot of Gold: 
Best Pubs in Miami for St. Patrick’s Day

The Irish use this holiday to celebrate their heritage and St. Patrick – the guy known for converting the Irish to Christianity. St. Patrick spread the word of Christianity throughout Ireland, building cathedrals and schools and even using shamrocks to explain the Holy Trinity – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That’s why shamrocks are a key symbol of this holiday. 

While these are the historical origins of St. Patrick’s Day, once emigrants from Ireland moved to the United States, this holiday blossomed into the one we know and love to celebrate today. St. Patrick’s diligent work in spreading the word of God to the people of Ireland created a sense of nationalism and Irish pride that was brought over to the States and is still felt today. 

Honor the Irish in the best way possible this St. Patrick’s Day: hopping from pub to pub throughout Miami!
