St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. He was born in the 4th century and brought christianity to Ireland. He converted pagans into christians. It is said that he drove the snakes out of Ireland. He died on the 17th March, 461. That is the reason why we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day!
The story about St Patrick is full of legend and symbols as the following:
Shamrocks: threeleaved clovers that grow in grass. You’ll be lucky if you find one!!!
Leprechauns: little Irish fairies, they are shoe-makers. They wear big green hats and if you find one he will tell you where he hides his pot of gold!
