St. Patrick’s Day is on March 17^th. It is a celebration honoring the memory of Saint Patrick, who is very important in Ireland.

Legend has it that St. Patrick was taken to Ireland as a young boy. He escaped years later and became a priest. He went back to Ireland to teach people about what he’d learned.
