History of St Patrick’s Day

we’ve come to associate the celebration
of st. Patrick’s Day with a lot of
drinking but in fact there’s more to it
than just that the holiday would not
exist had it not been for a band of
marauders who during the fifth century
AD kidnapped a 16 year old wash boy by
the name of maewyn during the six years
that they held him captive as a slave he
came to a religious awakening he changed
his name to Patrick joined a monastery
and took on a new calling that of
converting his people to Christianity he
did so by founding schools and churches
and within two hundred years Ireland was
a Christian country it’s also said that
he used the three leaf clover as a tool
to teach the people of the Holy Trinity
Saint Patrick died in 461 AD and the
date of March 17th was declared a
religious holiday in Ireland most
businesses remain closed while pubs and
restaurants are open the st. Patrick’s
Day custom spread throughout the world
so today we’re all Irish happy st.
