Celebrating Irishness sometimes holds a bigger sense of pride and emotion for emigrants, bringing to the fore that idea of a shared sense of belonging.

Many Irish people around the world will celebrate St Patrick’s Day in their own areas across the coming days. Perhaps there’s a small parade in your local area, some locals playing Irish music, or simply a shamrock painted on your child’s cheek as they go to school.

We’d love you to send us a photograph of your celebrations where you are living abroad. We’ll display them in a gallery at the end of this article and elsewhere on IrishTimes.com over the St Patrick’s Day weekend.

Submit using the form below. Let us know where your photograph is taken and include short description of what is happening in the photograph. And please use only photographs which you have taken.
