Patrick's day is on March 17. It is both an Irish religious and national holiday. Immigrants from Ireland brought this tradition to the United States.
St Patrick is a very famous and important person in Ireland. St Patrick's real name was Maewyn Succat. He was born in Wales around 389 AD. When he was 16, he was kidnapped by bandits and taken to Ireland as a slave. He worked as a shepherd. He spent many long hours alone taking care of sheep out in the fields. He felt lonely and afraid. During that time he began to think about God. He repented from his sins and unbelief and he turned to God with all his heart. He had a dream in which God told him to leave Ireland by going to the coast.
He escaped to Gaul (France) after six long years of slavery. He studied in a monastery for twelve years near Auxerre, in France. He had a vision telling him to return to Ireland as a missionary. At sixty, he came back to Ireland to convert the pagans of Ireland to Christianity. He used the shamrock to explain the concept of the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). St Patrick's mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years. He died on March 17 in 461 AD
St Patrick's Day today on Saint Patrick's Day everything is green, the colour of hope and nature
Even beer is green on that day. In the US the Chicago River is even dyed green. Saint Patrick's Day is a celebration honouring Saint Patrick. People also organize parades with Irish music and dancing through the streets, with big bands- and not only in Ireland. About 500,000 people go to the parade in Dublin, Irish people all over the world wear green
clothes and ribbons in their hair. If you don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day you get pinched as a
punishment At the parade people wear green, white and orange hats... or hair! They also wear badges that
say "Kiss me, I'm Irish!"
After the Great Potato Famine in the 1840s, millions of Irish people emigrated to England, America or Europe, and their descendants are fond of remembering their Irish roots. So, today people celebrate St Patrick's Day in Ireland and in many countries like in Australia, Canada, the USA and even Japan!
There are 44 million Americans of Irish descent, many are firemen and policemen and they participate in the parades.
There is a big parade in New York. 150,000 people march towards Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York.
IRISH SYMBOLS
#The shamrock is the symbol of Ireland. Shamrocks bring good luck.
Legend says that if you find a four-leaf shamrock and you put it in your shoe under your heel, you will marry the first person you'll meet.
# Leprechauns are magical little men from Irish legends, they have a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. If you follow the rainbow, you can try to catch it, but be careful leprechauns are very quick!!!
# The flag: green, white and orange are the colours on the Irish tricolour flag:
green is for Catholics - orange is for Protestants
