St. Patrick’s History

St. Patrick's Day honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. Americans march in parades, dance the Irish jig and gather to sing Irish songs. People wear green in memory of Ireland, the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks, clover with three leaves.  

St. Patrick was born in Wales, studied religion to become a priest and then went to Ireland to teach the people about God. There are many wonderful stories about St. Patrick, some true and some not true. The most famous legend is that he drove the snakes out of Ireland. This did not happen but the Irish will tell you that you cannot find a snake throughout the whole country of Ireland.

St. Patrick’s poem

St. Patrick's Day is here, you see.We'll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three.We'll count the leaves and look them over,And maybe find a four-leafed clover.I'll sew green buttons on my vest,Green for St. Patrick is the best.I'll wear a green hat, very high,And dance a jig--at least I'll try!
