Saint Patrick's Day is a holiday that we celebrate here in the U.S. But it didn't come from us, it can from Ireland. They start celebrating the Holiday around the 9th and 10th centuries. It was being celebrated by the Irish in Europe.
Saint Patrick's Day was named after a saint. The saint name was Saint Patrick. Saint Patrick has a lot of history. We still don't know where he was born or when he was born. We think that he was born in Roman Britain in the 4th century. when he was sixteen he was taken by Irish raiders and made a slave. One day God came to Saint Patrick In a Dream. And told him to leave the island that he was in and go back to where he was taken. Upon returning, he quickly joined the Church in Auxerre in Gaul and studied to be a priest.
Saint Patrick's Day is a fun Holiday where you can have lots of fun. They do many thing on this holiday. In Chicago they do something very spacial they dye their river GREEN! Yeah they dye the Chicago River green. But Chicago don't just do that. They have many celebrations and parade. But the most known parade is the South Side Parade.
Saint Patrick'sDay is always fun. Because they do something very special anywhere you celebrate it. They do games, contest, parades, everything you can think of. They might eat Irish foods that you can enjoy. They probably have everything.
But when we celebrate it, we remember St. Patrick. And what he did. But it does not matter how we celebrate it. As long as we have fun doing it.
HAPPY SAINT PATRICk's' DAY!
