☣ Saint Patrick's Day ☣

Hello!
Today I would tell you something about Saint Patrick's day.

In Ireland Saint Patrick's Day is the most important feast day of the year, but it is also celebrated by the Irish diaspora around the world especially in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, the United States, Argentina and New Zealand. Saint Patrick's Day became an official Christian feast ady during the seventeenth century and today it is celebrated on March 17. 
This feast began as a religious feast for the patron saint of Ireland, but during the following centuries has become an international festival celebrated with parades, dancing, special food and a lot of green. 
In fact, on Saint Patrick's Day people wear green clothes,  accessories and they also wear shamrocks which are the symbol of Ireland and, according to legend, Saint Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. Another important symbol is the triple spiral symbols which also appears at many ancient megalithic sites in Ireland.
What we actually know about Saint Patrick comes from the Declaration which was written by Patrick himself. It is believed he was born in Roman Britain in the fourth century into a Romano-British family. 
His father was a Deacon (ministry in the Christian church) and his grand father a priest in the Christian church. According to the Declaration,at the age of sixteen,he was taken as a slave by Irish raiders.
Tradition holds that he died on March 17. 

That's all for today.
See you soon!
