St. Patrick lived in the fifth century and was born in Britain. When he was 16 he was captured by Irish raiders and was kept in captivity for 6 years, escaped and converted to Christianity. Then he returned to Ireland to work as a Christian missionary for the rest of his life. He also used the shamrock to represent the holy trinity. When he died on March 17, 461 he was forgotten, but then centuries later was remembered because of the legends. On of the legends was that he made all of the snakes in Ireland disappear, but the problem is that there has never been snakes in Ireland because the temperatures in Ireland's waters are to cold for any snake to migrate to there. In America we usually celebrate by doing parades, concerts, firework shows, dressing in green, and eating Irish food. My family doesn't do anything on St.patrick's day.
