Saint Patrick’s Day is a celebration on March 17th, commemorating the death of Saint Patrick who is the patron saint of Ireland which is very interesting since he was born neither a Christian nor an Irishman! Saint Patrick is best known as the patron saint of Ireland, the man who drove snakes from Ireland, and the man who used the shamrock to explain the holy trinity. — ATTRIBUTIONS — You can find all attribution and credits for images, animations, graphics and music here - https://worldhistory.typehut.com/a-brief-history-of-saint-patrick-s-day-from-snakes-to-shamrocks-images-and-attributions-3947 — THUMBNAIL IMAGE — http://images.mohistory.org/image/6AA90185-ACFA-C07E-985F-567B0808A839/original.jpg Missouri Historical Society.
