St. Patrick's Day has arrived so let the partying begin. But first lets go over a bit of history and why we celebrate St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick was born in Britain around the 4th century, he was the grandson of a wealthy priest. Around his 16th birthday Irish raiders kidnapped him and forced him into slave labor back in Ireland. After his escape from Ireland back to Britain St. Patrick claimed to be "called by God" to return and spread Christianity to the Irish people. After becoming a bishop Patrick did just that. He spread the word of Christianity in Ireland until the day he died which was the 17th of March the year 461.So Why the color Green?
Originally the colors of St. Patrick's vestments were blue. Ireland however was rich with green clovers or shamrocks he used the tri-leafed plant to explain the holy trinity (foundation of Christianity) to the Irish people. That is the root of why we associate the color green with the celebration of St. Patrick's Day.
Countries all over the World and people from all different religions and beliefs celebrate this most excellent holiday. Here is a St. Patrick's day gift guide to help you celebrate in the festivities. Warning: These products may turn you Irish and cause you to protect a pot of gold.
