St. Patrick’s Day observes the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at 16. He later escaped but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people. He is believed to have died in the small village of Saul in 461 AD, not far from the town of Downpatrick in County Down, where he is reputedly buried. Over the years, the holiday has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, dancing, drinking, and a whole lot of green.
