St. Patrick history

A lot of people think that St. Patricks Day is all about Leprachauns, Green, and 4-leaf clovers. How did that all start? St. Patrick was a patron of Ireland (which means he was the one who supported Ireland during his life and poeple looked up to him.) He was commonly known to many Christians. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. That was his feast day and his death. This holiday has been celebrated for thousands of years. In Ireland usually Catholic families traditionally would attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. People usually would dance, drink and feast on the traditional Irish bacon and cabbage. They added the four-leaf clovers because it symbolizes good luck by the Irish and they wear them on St. Patrick's Day.
