St. Patrick's Day

It is normal to think that St. Patrick's Day is just a day where you wear green, but really there is a history behind it. St. Patrick wasn't actually Irish but was known to bring Christianity to the Irish people by teaching them with a shamrock. When he was 16 years old he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland to be an slave but then later escaped. He soon came back and that's when he brought Christianity to the Irish. It is believed he died on March 17.  That's why we celebrate St. Patrick's day every year, to celebrate a great leader.
