holidays. Blog 10


St.Patrick's day is one of the more unusual holidays for us to celebrate. for some people, it is a time to look into their ancestry and look at their roots. for others. it means nothing to them, seeing as they could not be Irish, or they could just not know what it means and not think that its a big deal. i wanted to know more about this holiday because i am a quarter Irish and i did not know why we celebrated it. Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. he is one or Christianity's most widely known figures. he is best known for banishing all of the snakes in Ireland. but that turns out to be just an exaggerated story.
