St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated every 17^th of March. It began as just a religious celebrate feast for the patron saint of Ireland, but has become so much more over the years. Nowadays, St. Patrick’s Day has been celebrated all over the world and in many different ways such as parades, dancing, special foods, and by wearing green. St. Patrick is the patron saint in Ireland and to many people’s surprise, he was not Irish. He was a Christian and so was his family but, he didn't show much interest in religion until one day they kidnapped him. He decided to go back to Ireland because God told him to but, he went back because an angel told him to go back as a missionary.  March 17, of the year 461 was when St. Patrick died. Originally, the color that represented St. Patrick was blue not green but, because Ireland had so much green, they changed it. The sham rock is also a very important symbol on St. Patrick’s Day because St. Patrick used it to explain n Holy Trinity.
