St. Patrick's Day is a special day celebrated every year on March 17th. It is named after St. Patrick, who is a special friend or 'patron saint' of Ireland. St. Patrick wasn't actually from Ireland—he was from Britain! He was brought to Ireland by pirates when he was 16, but later he went back to teach the Irish people about Christianity. The legend says he used a plant called a shamrock to explain about God. Today, people celebrate St. Patrick's Day by wearing green, joining parades, and eating Irish food.
