St. Patrick's Day: Bet Y…
SAINT PATRICK'S DAY: BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW
Millions of people around the world don their
best green attire every March 17th to celebrate
St. Patrick's Day. But there is a lot we bet you
did not know about Ireland patron saints. To
start with, Saint Patrick was not even Irish. He
was born around the Efth century in Britain then
part of the Roman empire. At sixteen he was
kidnapped by Irish raiders and spent six years in
captivity. He converted to Christianity and later
returned to Ireland to spend the rest of his life
working as a Christian missionary. After Patrick
died on March 17th, 461, he was largely
forgotten until mythology and legend grew and
centuries later he was honored as the patron
saint of Ireland. According to one famous myth,
Patrick drove all the snakes from Ireland. The
story symbolized Patrick cleansing the island of
paganism. There is just one problem — Ireland
never had any snakes to begin with. The
Emerald Isle is surrounded by water too frigid
for snakes to migrate there whether from Britain
or anywhere else. According to another famous
story, Patrick used the three leaves of the
shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. As a result,
people in the 18th century Ireland started
wearing shamrocks on March 17th to signify
their Irish Christian pride. That tradition later
grew into wearing green clothing, a popular St.
Patrick's Day custom today. Although
shamrocks do not really exist, we know them as
any one of several three leaf plants such as
wood sorrel or white and yellow clover. As
important as St. Patrick is to Irish history, we bet
you did not know the tradition of celebrating
March 17th with parades actually started in
America. The parade tradition really took off
after the great potato famine hit Ireland in the
1840's, sending hundreds of thousands of Irish
immigrants pouring into New York, Boston, and
other American cities. The Erst record of a St.
Patrick's Day parade in New York dates to 1762
when a group of Irish soldiers serving with the
British marched a few blocks to a tavern in lower
Manhattan. Today it's the largest and longest St.
Patrick's Day parade hosting close to 200,000
participants and nearly 3 million spectators
each year. So, this March 17th we hope we will
be wearing green and toasting to some St.
Patrick's Day history that we bet you did not
know.

Patrick sobre punições bíblicas.
Simboliza a fauna existente na Irlanda no
século V.
Representa a dieta de Saint Patrick
enquanto esteve em exílio na Irlanda.
Representa Saint Patrick expulsando as
cobras da Irlanda.
According to the legend, St. Patrick *
banished all the snakes from Ireland. Could
that be real?
It doesn't make any sense since the
weather is very hostile for snakes to live
there. It actually symbolizes St. Patrick
cleansing the island of paganism since
snakes are associated with sin.
Yes, it could, that may be the reason why
snakes are so scarce in Ireland at present.
No, it's just a made-up story that started
being spread in the 18th century. There
are no records of Saint Patrick driving
snakes from Ireland.
It totally makes sense because there used
to be a lot of snakes in Ireland back then
in the 5th century.
What does the image below symbolize? *
It's a shamrock which is a symbol of good
luck.
According to the legend, Saint Patrick
used the shamrock to explain the Holy
Trinity.
It's just the symbol of a cross, a heart, and
a dove.
According to the text, why do people wear *
green on St. Patrick's Day?
Because of an old tradition of
wearing a shamrock on St.
Patrick's Day that started in Ireland
in the 18th century.
Because leprechauns pinch those
who don't wear green on this
holiday.
Because Saint Patrick has always
been depicted wearing green.
