How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
March 17th through history
St Patrick, and a dancer born on a train
St Patrick was a Roman Briton, carried off to Ireland by raiders at sixteen, kept as a herdsman for six years, and returned as a bishop to the country that had enslaved him. He is traditionally held to have died on March 17th, in either 461 or 493. His Confessio survives in his own words, one of the very few documents written by a Briton of the fifth century, and it is a good deal more anxious than the parades suggest.
Rudolf Nureyev, the ballet dancer later regarded as one of the finest of his era, was born on March 17th 1938 on a Trans-Siberian train somewhere near Lake Baikal, his mother travelling to join her husband. He left the Kirov company at Le Bourget airport in 1961, and within a year was dancing at Covent Garden with Margot Fonteyn, who was forty-two to his twenty-three and had been thinking about retiring.
Golda Meir became prime minister of Israel on March 17th 1969. White South Africans voted by more than two to one to end apartheid on March 17th 1992.
For years Nat King Cole was described as a pianist who happened to sing, an order of priority the record-buying public reversed for him without asking. He was born on March 17th 1919; the actor Kurt Russell followed in 1951, and Rob Lowe, likewise an actor, in 1964.
Born on March 17th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Rudolf Nureyev and Kurt Russell — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Pisces — a Water sign ruled by Jupiter (traditional) / Neptune (modern), symbolised by Two Fish.
Birthstone
traditionally Bloodstone, or Aquamarine in the modern list for March.
Birth flower
Daffodil (primary), also Jonquil — most commonly cited sources agree on daffodil as the main March flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — bloodstone for the stone, Pisces for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
