The tradition of leprechauns, gold, four-leaf clovers, and the spirit of green has arrived on St. Patrick’s Day.

Every year, the tradition of St. Patrick’s Day is followed differently, especially by religious people. Although it seems harmless and fun, filled with the joy we all experience, it has a more profound backstory than what’s rumored. To start, the tradition is followed through the death of St. Patrick; a patron saint of Ireland who is credited with spreading Christianity to the country for a new experience. The tradition also displays the country’s joy and determination. Additionally, the common shamrock shake is based on Patrick, as he claimed the shamrock plant as the Irish symbol. To remember and respect the tradition, people accumulate the color green in clothes, drinks, food, and jewelry to display the tradition more openly. Additionally, the tradition was participated in for multiple years, making the backstory more profound, especially for those religious people, who participate more deeply in the tradition.

Briefly, St. Patrick’s Day revolves around Patrick, a relatively known and respected man, and it is celebrated in multiple ways including the color green.
