A Saint named Patrick who brought Christianity to Ireland. Ireland is called the Emerald Isle for it's excessive greenery, and the flag also has a green stripe, so everyone wears green on that day in honor of St. Patrick, who died thousands of years ago, on March 17th.

We celebrate St Patricks Day, because my parents told me he brought Christianity to Ireland, and drove the snakes out too!!
