St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick was a patron saint of Ireland and is one of Christianity's most known figure. We celebrate it on March 17 because that was the day of his death, which is still a mystery. There are theories about how he might have died and what he did when he was alive, but many haven’t been confirmed, yet. Patrick stated that he had visions from God and an angel telling him to do certain things and go to places. The original color was blue, but they later on changed it to green because the Irish flag is green. The purpose of St. Patrick’s Day is to remind us of Patrick who lead a small group of Christians in the fifth century. Like previously stated St. Patrick’s Day is on March 17 to celebrate and remember the death of Patrick, who was a patron. An interesting fact is that we pinch others on St. Patrick’s Day if they don’t wear green because it is though that back then if you were green then the leprechauns can’t see us because the green makes us invisible. Now if the leprechauns can see us they will pinch us, so nowadays we pinch people when they don’t wear green to remind them that the leprechauns would sneak up on you at anytime and pinch you. Another interesting fact is that Patrick was arrested and sent to Ireland to sentence his jail time. Then he escaped because according to him God came to have and told him to go.
