St. Patrick's Day

                      St. Patrick’s Day

Have you ever heard of a holiday called St. Patrick’s Day? Well, every year it’s on the 17th of March.
Here are some facts about St. Patrick’s Day. Most people think the color that represents St.Patrick’s Day is green; but it is really blue. Green became associated with St. Patrick’s Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by many fairies and immortals, and also by many people to encourage their crops to grow.
Some people think  that the first St. Patrick’s Day was in Ireland; but actually it was in Boston in 1737. Did you know that in Chicago, on St. Patrick’s Day, the rivers are dyed green. In Seattle, there is  a ceremony where  a green stripe is painted down the roads. Some people wear green on St. Patrick’s Day to avoid being pinched. Isn’t that just crazy? There are so many other facts but that’s up to you whether you want to look them up. See ya!
