St. Patrick's Day is a fun and exciting holiday to celebrate. But how much do we really know about St. Patrick's Day? According to http://www.gpb.org/education/origins-of-st-patricks-day, it says that on St. Patrick's Day we celebrate the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of Ireland. Maewyn, also known as Patrick, was born in Roman Britain. He was later kidnapped into slavery and brought to Ireland. He then escaped to a monastery in France and became a Christian. He went back to Ireland in 432 as a missionary. Patrick spread Christianity through Ireland. Patrick became the bishop and after his death, he was named the Ireland Patron. Patrick died on March 17, 461. Therefore, the day we celebrate this fun day. So there you go. I hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Now you know more about it!
