St. Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland, who is said to have baptized hundreds of people on a single day, and to have used a three-leaf clover–the famous shamrock–to describe the Holy Trinity. (Note: A four-leaf clover is not a shamrock—its just a four-leaf clover). The four-leaf is an uncommon variation of the shamrock, and is considered lucky.

Also, it is customary to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day. Some believe it is because of the green shamrock, others believe it is in honor of Ireland’s nickname, “The Emerald Isles”. In art, St. Patrick is often portrayed trampling on snakes, in accordance with the belief that he drove those reptiles out of Ireland. For thousands of years, the Irish have observed the day of Saint Patrick’s death as a religious holiday, attending church in the morning and celebrating with food and drink in the afternoon.

The first St. Patrick’s Day parade, though, took place not in Ireland, but the United States, when Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched through New York City in 1762. #ShadHistoryHit
