It is the Feast day of Saint Patrick, which is the commemoration of the arrival of Christianity in Ireland.

It has also been called the Feast of Saint Patrick; Lá Fhéile Pádraig; Patrick’s Day; (St) Paddy’s Day; and St Patty’s Day. 

Attending parades, wearing green and shamrocks, and drinking Irish beer and Irish whiskey is usually how the holiday is celebrated.

Joe Biden welcomed Leo Varadkar to the White House for St. Patrick’s Day on Friday as the Irish leader vowed to roll out the red carpet for the president’s upcoming visit.

Biden, who is proud of his Irish roots, which is where his great, great grandfather was born, said he is looking forward to visiting Ireland ‘soon.’

‘It’s good to have you back in the Oval Office, Taoiseach. It’s a big day in my grandparents’ household, our household, big day here,’ he said.

Varadkar said the entire Irish Republic was looking forward to seeing Biden. The president is expected to travel there next month to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday accord.

‘I promise you that we’re going to roll out the red carpet and it’s going to be visit like no other. Everyone’s excited about already,’ the taoiseach said.

Ireland’s Taoiseach Leo Varadkar told President Joe Biden his country was looking forward to welcoming him for a visit

The White House went green for the occasion. The water in the fountain on the North Lawn was dyed green, shamrocks decorated the Oval Office and the president sported a green tie with white dots.

Green is the theme of the day amid a packed-schedule of holiday-related activities that included an Oval Office meeting, a luncheon on Capitol Hill hosted by Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Irish eggs for breakfast with Vice President Kamala Harris.  

Varadkar’s visit comes after Biden said he plans to visit both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland next month, which marks the 25th anniversary of the U.S.-brokered Good Friday accord.

The agreement helped end sectarian violence that had raged for three decades over whether Northern Ireland should unify with Ireland or remain part of the United Kingdom. 

‘I want to acknowledge the central role which the US has played in the peace process on our island, driving it forward and critical points,’ Varadkar said Friday morning during his meeting with Harris.

Ahead of his meeting with Biden, Varadkar, known as the taoiseach, and his partner Matthew Barrett visited the Naval Observatory for breakfast with Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff. ‘Eggs St. Patrick’ were on the menu. It’s an Irish twist on Eggs Benedict.

Harris wore a green pants suit for the occasion. The three men had shamrock in the breast pockets of their suit jackets.

She acknowledged Biden’s love of all things Irish and noted: ‘He is quite exuberant in that joy and I now have caught the bug.’

Later on Friday, the boyband One Direction and Irish singer Niall Horan will perform for leaders and invited guests at the White House.

Horan was one of the five members of One Direction, the popular 2010 English-Irish boy band, which sold more than 70 million records globally. The band officially split in January 2016. 

During Friday’s visit, Varadkar is expected to present Biden with an engraved crystal bowl of shamrocks, a tradition that began in 1952.
