St. Patrick's is a holiday we all celebrate, but why do we celebrate. What is St. Patrick's day even about. As said in an article by Time and Date, "St Patrick's Day is celebrated in many parts of the world, especially by Irish communities and organizations. Many people wear an item of green clothing on the day. Parties featuring Irish food and drinks that are dyed green food color are part of this celebration." We all know this, we all do this, but why do we do this? Not a lot of people know how St. Patrick's came to be, nor, do they know why we even celebrate this holiday. The reason being, for, of course, what the holiday its self is named after. St Patrick, St Patrick was a Patron in Ireland in the 5th century. A brief summary would be found in dummies.com stating that St Patrick grew up in Roman Britain. However he was captured by Irish raiders and was taken to Ireland as a slave. According to popular legend, he had rid Ireland of snakes. Later on he'd arrive back to his family and become a Patron. Personally, my family does not do much for St Patrick's, except wear green, everybody does that really though. Also, sometimes, we do eat green foods for dinner, but it isn't often.
