Do you want to know more about Saint Patrick?☘️☘️☘️☘️
St. Patrick was a Christian missionary, bishop and a patron saint of Ireland 🕍
He was born in Roman Britain to a wealthy family near the end of the fourth century, he was captured by
Irish raiders and brought to Ireland where was 6 years in captivity until he could escape and go back to England
He dreamed that an angel told him to go back to Ireland as a missionary. He started religious training to become a priest on a mission to convert the Irish to Christianity. He died in A.D. 461 on March 17.☘️☘️🇮🇪
Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn as early as the 17th century. During the Irish Rebellion of 1798, an uprising against British rule in Ireland, Irish soldiers wore full green uniforms on March 17 to make a political statement.
Legend has it that wearing green makes a person invisible to leprechauns that will pinch someone if they see them.
Many cities hold parades in honor of the holiday. The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade is the largest parade in the world. It was first held in 1762, 14 years before the Declaration of Independence, by a group of homesick Irish expats and soldiers who served with the British Army in the American colonies.
