St. Patrick's Day

1.St. Patrick the patron saint of Ireland is one of Christianity most widely known figures.But foe all his celebrity his life remains somewhat of a mystery. many of the stories traditionally associated with st Patrick including the famous account of his banishing all the snakes from Ireland are false the product of hundreds of years of exaggerated storytelling. 
2.The dates of Patrick's life are the subject of conflicting traditions. His own writings provide nothing that can be dated more precisely than the 5th century.  
3. Is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick ( c. AD 385–461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
4.It's time to tuck away those black and blues that you have been donning all winter and get some green on! That's because Tuesday March 17th is St. Patrick's Day, which means that those not sporting the color will have to endure painful pinches! Of course this fun holiday is also about searching for four-leaf clovers and leprechauns that can lead you to gold.
