The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and, by extension, celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.
The tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, which like to pinch anyone they can see. Some people also think sporting the color will bring good luck, and others wear it to honor their Irish ancestry.
Patrick’s Day. Believed to be a Celtic charm, four-leaf clovers were used for magical protection from evil spirits and to repel bad luck. The leaves of the clover stands for faith, hope, luck and love. Whoever comes across a four-leaf clover is granted good luck and is protected against any bad luck.
Patrick’s Day the right way.
Roman
St. Patrick was born in Britain to a family of Roman descent. At 16, he was kidnapped from his family villa by Irish raiders and sold into slavery. Around the beginning of the 3rd century, he spent six years in the West of Ireland herding sheep and, during this difficult time, he turned to his faith for comfort.
