What is St. Patrick’s Day and Why Do We Celebrate it
St. Patrick’s Day was started many years ago, as a celebration in the Irish culture. St. Patrick’s Day became an anniversary to celebrate the death of Saint Patrick’s death around the fifth century. While the traditions of the celebration were different years ago, it has now evolved.
Now we celebrate by wearing green clothing and not pinching those who have green on. Also, the four-leaf clover, drinking and eating tasty green and specially flavored dishes that scream St. Patrick’s Day.
