The History of St. Patricks Day
We all know March 17th is St. Patricks Day, but do we know why we’re celebrating? What is
the history behind this holiday? Well, St. Patricks Day is always celebrated on March 17th,
which is the date of St. Patrick's death. Saint Patrick is the patron saint and the national apostle
of Ireland. At 16 years old, Saint Patrick was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave, but
he later escaped. After a while, he came back to Ireland and was credited with bringing
Christianity to its people. In America, we usually celebrate this holiday by wearing green, and
looking for four leaf clovers. We also eat a variety of dishes like; Irish brown bread, Corned beef
and cabbage, Beef and Guinness pie, Irish cream chocolate mousse cake, Irish coffee, Irish
potato champ, Irish stew, and Irish potato soup. At home, me and my family always dress-up in
green and decorate the house with four-leaf clovers, and anything that we can find that is
green.
