    St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th. It is celebrated in Ireland and by people around the world who have Irish heritage or descent. St. Patrick was from Britain but returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary. According to legend, when he was 16 he was captured and held as a slave in Ireland for 6 years before escaping. The three leaves of the shamrock represent the Holy Trinity. It is believed that if you catch a leprechaun they can lead you to their pot of gold. Children often wear green on St. Patrick's Day. According to St. Patrick's legend, the 'snakes' refer to pagan druids that he drove out of Ireland.
