St. Patrick's Day commemorates St. Patrick and the first appearance of Christianity in Ireland. While there's so much more to the holiday than the color green, it's the color that's become synonymous with the celebration as well as with Irish culture.

Over the weekend, Ireland's official tourism account celebrated the holiday with photos of green-dyed or illuminated landmarks from around the world.

Here, for example, is the "Dancing House" in Prague.
