Best Answer

One myth is that it is called St. Patty's Day. The day you refer to is called St. Patrick's Day. There is the myth that St. Patrick got rid of snakes in Ireland. There were no snakes in Ireland. It is often thought of as being a metaphor for having got rid of paganisim in Ireland and bringing in Christianity.
