St. Patrick's Day
Most people when they hear St. Patrick's Day they think of wearing green and pinching people. Really there is a whole history behind him. He was a fifth century Roman-British Christian missionary. So he wasn't even Irish! According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick when he was about 16 he was kidnapped from his home and taken into slavery in Ireland. Later on he became a bishop and then served many missions to help Ireland. For 20 years he went around baptizing people and establishing schools and churches. We now honor his death on March 17 for all the good things he did. We celebrate with food, games, music, and people wearing green! Now when you think of St. Patrick's Day you might think of something different.

Good job Camille! I love that you explained a lot of how this holiday came to be. One thing that you should do next time is make it a little longer. Other than that you did fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGood Job! I have no corrections, but maybe you could make it a little longer like Kamree said!
