two questions
why "la Saint-Patrick" and not "le jour de Saint-Patrick?" Saint Patrick is masculine as is "jour" however in the answer it is feminine.
And could "feter" be used instead of "celebrer"
Thank you

Bonjour Christine !
You could also use "le jour de la Saint-Patrick", but a name day is always feminine in French, as it's considered as a "fête" (la fête).
See the related lesson:

As for "fêter", it could indeed be used here as well.
I've now added these options to the Writing Challenge :)
Bonne journée !
