St. Patrick was known as the Patron Saint of Ireland. For those in this world who have even a dash of Celtic blood in them, they consider this day a day of celebration and remembrance.
The legend of St. Patrick is partly that, legend, and partly fact. No one can seem to agree on where St. Patrick was born, the year he was born, the year he died, or where he died, which makes St. Patrick all that much more mysterious. However, he did write his own diaries and other works that tell us about his life. No matter what the case is, it is true that he did a lot for Ireland. He was also very well liked.
