Saint Patrick's Day Worldwide Celebrations

Millions of people around the world are wearing green today, drinking Guinness and soliciting kisses because they're Irish, even if they're not — but hey, everyone's a little Irish on St. Patrick's Day right?

From the Colosseum in Rome to hotel towers in Abu Dhabi to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, landmarks and buildings around the globe will be lit green in honour of the Irish. Waterways were dyed green and parades were held everywhere from Tokyo to Toronto over the weekend. Cameroon Concord's Dublin correspondent witnessed it in Swords, Rush and Skerries.
