Saint Patrick's DayIt´s the day of death of St. Patrick in the 5th century. He brought Christianity to Ireland (so the legend tells).

He's the most important saint to the Irish catholic Church. He is the patron saint of Ireland and the day of his death on which he became a Saint therefore became a national holiday. Saving the people from the deep darkness of paganism- and druidism.

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated with green themed food and clothing, Irish Music, and plenty of whiskey.

In NY they dye the bagels green, drink green beer, have a parade and people bar hop in green shirts and party favors.

People eat too much, drink too much and end up dead drunk lying in the gutter in a pool of their own vomit. What a wonderful Christian way of celebrating the life of such a great saint!
