Americans started celebrating St. Pattys day for the Irish Soliders serving the Americans on March 17, 1762. The next 35 years later it was called the " Irish Aid" where Americans held parades and celebrated by wearing green. There are now over 100 parades celebrated every year on St. Pattys day in America.

St. Patrick was born in Wales, England. After becoming a priest St. Patrick went moved to Ireland to preach people about God. St. Patricks birthday was around 385 AD and he passed away March 17, 461 AD.
