St. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on the 17th of March. It is the anniversary of the death of Saint Patrick and named in honor of him. Saint Patrick was born in Britain. He was kidnapped by Irish raiders as a teenager and taken to Ireland, where he was enslaved for six years. During his time in Ireland, Patrick converted to Christianity and eventually escaped to Britain. He later returned to Ireland as a missionary and is credited with converting the Irish people to Christianity.

The festival commemorates the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, as well as the celebration of Irish heritage and culture. The first celebrations were held in Ireland in the 5th century, shortly after his passing. In the 17th century, the day was adopted by the Catholic Church and became a feast day in the Catholic calendar. In the 18th century, Irish immigrants began to celebrate the holiday in the United States. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the United States was held in Boston in 1737.

St. Patrick’s Day is now celebrated by many people throughout the world, Irish and non-Irish alike, with food, drink, and all things green. The first thing you need to do to prepare for St. Patrick’s Day is to locate all the GREEN items you can find. This can be clothing, jewelry, socks, shoes, hats, cups, plates, and other decorative items. This make take some time so it’s best to prepare early!
