St. Patrick’s Day
When you hear, “St. Patrick’s Day” do you think of green? Do you think of
leprechauns and rainbows with pots of gold? I sure do! Saint Patrick’s real name
was Maewyn Succat, and he was born in the late 4th century. He was kidnapped
when he was 16 years old by Irish raiders. He then escaped, only to return back to
Ireland later on. Maewyn was a very religious man and used the shamrock to preach about religion. He established many churches and schools, and
once he became a priest, he changed his name to Patircius which was then translated
to Patrick. One tradition my family I have is eating Colcannon and Corned Beef for
dinner to celebrate Saint Patrick's day. Another tradition is to wear green, and if you
don’t, people can pinch you!
