Who Was St. Patrick?
He was born sometime between 370 and 390 A.D. in Britain. He was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Ireland when he was 16. During his of captivity, he worked as a shepherd. He became a priest, and his missionary work converted the Irish to Christianity.

Symbols
The shamrock is a symbol of St. Patrick's Day because it is believed that St. Patrick used its three leaves to explain the holy Trinity to his converts, comparing them to the father, son and holy spirit.

A leprechaun is an Irish fairy. He is often dressed like a shoemaker, with a crooked hat and a leather apron.

It may sound strange, but the color of St. Patrick was not actually green, but blue. Later green became the national color, so wearing green is an act of paying tribute to Ireland. Many people think wearing green brings good luck.
