The History of St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is a holiday celebrated by many, but how did it start❓ According to history.com, St. Patrick was born in Roman Britain, and he was kidnapped and made an Irish slave at the age of 16. He went back to Roman Britain, but then went back to Ireland with the glory of bringing Christianity to his people. There is a St. Patrick's Day parade in New York that over 3 million people attend each year. According to britannica.com, Chicago dyes its river GREEN for the day. In my family, we don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day much, other than wearing green and eating Lucky Charms. Overall, this is a really fun and interesting holiday!
