Saint Patrick’s Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick , is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick , the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, today’s Google Doodle takes us to the mystical Skellig Michael, a remote island just off the coast of County Kerry, Ireland. The breathtaking destination is a World Heritage Site and home to many species of seabirds — like puffins, gannets, and razorbills If you’re brave enough to scale the 600 steps to the top of the rocky precipice, you’ll see a magnificent view of the mainland and the Atlantic Ocean from 714 feet above sea level.
Each year at least four boat licences are granted to tour operators who run trips to Skellig Michael during the summer season. For safety reasons, because the steps are rocky, steep, and old, climbs are not permitted during very wet or windy weather
On Mar 17 The Search engine Google is showing this animated Doodle for the St. Patrick’s Day .

The Peacock Throne of Shah Jahan
“The iconic Peacock Throne or the Takht-i-taus was the greatest accumulation of precious gemstones in the 17th Century. Commissioned in 1628 by Shah Jahan, this exquisite artifact serves as yet another reminder of the extravagant Mughal era. Although the coveted throne was dismantled and lost to history, its legacy continues through writings, historical records and artist renditions by first-hand witnesses of its unparalleled splendor.”
