History of St. Patrick's day
St. Patrick's day is a holiday celebrated around the world. It originated in Ireland after the missionary and bishop in Ireland named St. Patrick. The article History of St. Patrick's Day, from history.com says, "St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17, the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. On St. Patrick’s Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon." This shows that this holiday is a very old one. According to the site Wikipedia St. Patrick's day is celebrated in the U.S. with lots of green, eating and drinking, religious observances, and many parades. Another American tradition on this holiday is to pinch everyone that is not wearing green. My family doesn't really do anything to celebrate this holiday. In, conclusion St. Patrick's day is a holiday with many roots and has lots of traditions with it.

I like your quotes, its okay that your family doesn't really celebrate St. Patricks Day. This holiday had a really interesting of becoming a holiday. This is a perfect paragraph. I can't think of anything for you to improve on.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I really liked how you had a conclusion sentence, because it wraps up your paragraph really well. One thing you could work on though, is having an introduction or hook at the beginning of your paragraph. All in all though, good job!
ReplyDeleteReally great job on this! The comma in the last sentence would go after conclusion I think. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I just looked at it and thought the same thing
