The annual St. Patrick's Day Parade has taken place in New York City since 1766 and is one of the year's biggest parades to hit the city.
The parade originates as a religious holiday that marks St. Patrick and Christianity's arrival into Ireland in the 4th Century A.D. Even though the parade has its roots in Christianity, the celebration has also become one of the biggest secular celebrations of the year with millions celebrating anything Irish and wearing green.
