St Patrick's day
"St Patrick’s Day is the anniversary of the death of St Patrick, born in Roman Britain and later kidnapped at the age of sixteen and brought to Ireland as a slave, after he escaped he returned back to Ireland and was credited for introducing christianity to Ireland. The Irish people have celebrated the 17th of March as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years; the daily routine of St Patrick’s Day would be, attending church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon, people would feast on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage, dance, drink, and simply enjoy their special day. The mythologies surrounding the life of St Patrick weaved more and more into the irish culture: perhaps one of the most known legends of St Patrick is that he explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the help of the leaves of the native irish clover, the shamrock.
