Saint Patrick’s Day, also known as The Feast of Saint Patrick, is a


traditional holiday celebrated every year on March 17th, the day the patron
saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, died. Patrick, who was born in the fourth
century, lived in the British Isles, a land that had been invaded and
conquered first by the Romans and then by Germanic tribes. At the age of
16, Patrick was captured and taken as a slave from the British Isles to what
is now Ireland. He lived there for several years herding sheep. He was a
religious boy, and he prayed that he would someday return to his
homeland. Legend has it that one night while he was praying, a voice told
him to escape from the farm, and find a ship that was waiting for him in a
harbor two hundred miles away. Patrick got to the ship, sailed to Europe,
and disembarked in what is now probably France. He led several of the
ship’s crew through a dangerous forest, praying all the time. Neither Patrick
nor any member of his crew was captured. When some of the men were
about to die of starvation, wild animals appeared to them to eat. Events
such as these appeared to be miracles and gave rise to later legends
surrounding Patrick. Finally finding his way home, Patrick felt that he was
called by God to perform an important mission. He believed it was his duty
to go back to Ireland and convert the Celtic people to the Christian Religion.
Patrick arrived in England and became a missionary, traveling from village
to village and talking about his faith. Once, several members of a tribe
approached Patrick and told him that they found it difficult to understand
and believe in the Holy Trinity. Patrick thought a moment, then stooped
down and picked one of the plentiful shamrocks growing wild around
Ireland. “Here are three leaves”, he said, “yet it is one plant. Imagine the
Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as each of these leaves. Here they are, yet
they are one plant.” The tribesmen understood, because Patrick had used a
familiar object to explain. From that time on, the shamrock has been a
revered symbol of Ireland. There are lots of stories about Patrick. One of
them is about him forcing snakes out of the entire country of Ireland. Even
though there are many different stories about how he accomplished such a
task, it is probably not true. Patrick died on March 17th, and the Irish people
set aside the day to mourn. He became the patron saint of
Ireland. Mourning turned to commemorating him and celebrating his life.
Because of Saint Patrick, lots of cities around the world with a large
population of Irish have parades. Green is one of the national colors of
Ireland. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will
travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons, and hats. There are even
pubs which serve green beer on that day. Saint Patrick’s Day was made an
official Christian holiday in the early seventeenth century. It is now observed
by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox
Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the
arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Not only that, but it also celebrates the
heritage and culture of the Irish in general.
