On March 17, people in various parts of the world celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day. The man who would become known as Saint Patrick was originally named Maewyn Succat. He was born around 400 A.D. When Succat was a teenager, it is believed that he was kidnapped from his homeland and taken to Ireland. According to his own autobiography (a story about his life that he wrote himself) called The Confessio, he was forced into slavery as a child, but he escaped Ireland at age 22. After his escape, he became a monk in the Catholic Church and changed his name to Patricius. He became a religious man during his time at the monastery and decided to return to Ireland as a missionary. (A missionary is someone who goes to help others in for- eign lands.) Patricius was made the Patron Saint of Ireland for all the good deeds he performed in Ireland. Legend has it that Saint Patrick died on March 17, 461 A.D. The holiday was originally created in honor of Saint Patrick, and it is considered a religious holiday in Ireland. In other parts of the World, it has almost become a celebration of Ireland itself. Today people celebrate the holiday by wearing green and having parties where foods are often dyed green. Parades are held in many major cities around the World. Rivers have even been dyed green to honor the occasion. Tradition states that if you are not wearing green on Saint Patrick’s Day, friends might teasingly pinch you. acroSS: paddY’S 3.
