Saint Patrick’s Day 
 
Saint Patrick’s Day, also known as The Feast of Saint Patrick, is a traditional holiday celebrated every year on March 
17th, the day the patron saint [01] of Ireland, Saint Patrick, died. 
 
Patrick, who was born [02] in the fourth century, lived in the British Isles, a land that had been invaded and 
conquered first by the Romans and then by Germanic tribes. At the age of 16, Patrick was captured and taken as a 
slave [03] from the British Isles to what is now Ireland. He lived there for several years herding sheep [04]. He was 
a religious boy, and he prayed that he would someday return to his homeland [05]. 
 
Legend has it that [06] one night while he was praying, a voice told him to escape from the farm, and find a ship 
that was waiting for him in a harbor [07] two hundred miles aways. Patrick got to the ship, sailed to Europe, and 
disembarked in what is now probably France. He led several of the ship’s crew [08] through a dangerous forest, 
praying all the time. Neither Patrick nor any member of his crew was captured. When some of the men were about 
to die of starvation [09], wild animals [10] appeared to them to eat. Events such as these appeared to be miracles 
and gave rise [11] to later legends surrounding Patrick. 
 
Finally finding his way home, Patrick felt that he was called by God to perform an important mission. He believed it 
was his duty to go back to Ireland and convert the Celtic people to the Christian Religion. 
 
Patrick arrived in England and became a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. Once, 
several members of a tribe approached Patrick and told him that they found it difficult to understand and believe in 
the Holy Trinity [12]. Patrick thought a moment, then stooped down and picked [13] one of the 
plentiful shamrocks [14] growing wild around Ireland. “Here are three leaves”, he said, “yet it is one plant. 
Imagine the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit [15] as each of these leaves. Here they are, yet they are one 
plant.” The tribesmen understood, because Patrick had used a familiar object to explain. From that time on, the 
shamrock has been a revered symbol of Ireland. 
 
There are lots of stories about Patrick. One of them is about him forcing snakes out of the entire country of Ireland. 
Even though there are many different stories about how he accomplished such a task, it is probably not true. Patrick 
died on March 17th, and the Irish people set aside the day [16] to mourn [17]. He became the patron saint of 
Ireland. Mourning turned to commemorating [18] him and celebrating his life. 
 
 
 
Because of Saint Patrick, lots of cities around the world with a large population of Irish have parades [19]. Green is 
one of the national colors of Ireland. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel. People wear 
green shirts, ties, hair ribbons, and hats. There are even pubs which serve green beer on that day. 
 
Saint Patrick’s Day was made an official Christian holiday in the early seventeenth century. It is now observed by the 
Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion,the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The 
day commemorates [20] Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Not only that, but it also celebrates 
the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

The Saint Patrick’s Day 
It’s a traditional holiday of Ireland, created in memory of Saint Patrick. Patrick was 16 years old when got captured 
and taken as a slave to the British Isles, that now are Ireland. He lived several years of his life herding sheep. Also,
