Saint Patrick's Day


Word cloud made with WordItOut

The 17th of March is Saint Patrick's Day. It's an Irish festival, but it's celebrated in EEUU too. There are parades, special food...and people dye rivers in green!! 


Saint Patrick was kidnapped when he was sixteen and he was a slave.After he had travelled around Europe he escaped and he studied Religion. Then he returned to Ireland and there he used the shamerock to explain the Holy Trinity. There's a legend that says that Saint Patrick drove out snakes from Ireland because the snakes are a pagan symbol.
Some of Saint Patrick symbols are colour green, leprechauns, the shamerock...
