Hello readers, and happy March! Saint Patrick's Day is coming up! What are you going to do to celebrate the holiday? Saint Patrick is honored by Saint Patrick's Day. It's on March 17th.
Saint Patrick was raised in a Christian family and born in Britain. When he was a boy he was kidnapped and made a slave. While he was a slave his captors forced him to herd sheep. After he escaped, he went back to Britain and then wanted to come back to Ireland to teach the people about God. He studied religion in France. He was named Patricius, which is a Latin name for Patrick. Then he sailed back to Ireland and began preaching. People honor Saint Patrick on March 17th because that is when he died.
The Catholic Church then made him a saint. He also banished all the snakes from Ireland by playing his drum. They all slithered away. Saint Patrick was made a saint because people noticed and liked his kindness and was a Christian missonary.
So that's all about Saint Patrick. Thank you for reading, and again, happy March!
