St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick’s Day
1. Saint Patrick was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland.
2. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, as well as celebrating the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.
3. St. Patrick’s day is designated when it is because this is the day that Saint Patrick died.  

4. You must wear the color green on Saint Patrick’s day because St Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish.
