Patrick began as a church deacon, then became a priest and finally was ordained as a bishop. St. Patrick eventually became the patron Saint of Ireland and is honored on March 17th as commemoration of St. Patrick's religious contributions. People in Ireland and the U.S. wear green clothing or a green shamrock to celebrate St. Patricks Day. There are many St. Patrick's Day parades and St. Patrick's Day parties, and in Ireland, many businesses close in honor of Saint Patrick's Day. It is believed that St. Patrick died in 493 AD and was buried in Ireland. About St. Patricks Celebrations

St. Patrick’s Day holiday – how did it begin? One story has it beginning in Dublin, Ireland, where there were two Protestant churches, one being Saint Patrick's. This saint's history began in the fifth century in Britain and not in Ireland. When Patrick, born in Britain, was around 16 years old, he was captured by British pirates and taken to Ireland where he was sold into slavery. For the next six years, while Patrick worked as a herdsman for his master, he learned the Irish language and became quite fluent in it.
