Patrick rid Ireland of snakes.There is NO relativity from snakes to saint Patrick's day. You see in the begging st. Patrick was actually a boy born in England and his name was Maywhin soocket, he grew up in England for about 16 years and then was kidnapped by a group of pirates (or ireland raiders) called the Whales, he was sold as a slave to a man in ireland and his name was changed to (Pig Boy), when he was in Ireland he noticed that the people did not know about God and therefore they prayed to things like twigs, pond scum, and rocks. Well pat-er- i mean pig boy lived in Ireland for 6 years and in those years he grew very close to God, one day God told him it was time to leave Ireland so he walked and walked 200 miles and finally reached the sea and got on a ship and headed for France. It took them 3 days to get there and when they did the left on foot for the nearest town, but the got a little lost and fond them selves walking for 28 days and then there supplies ran out, so big boy prayed to God for some food and after he was done, some stow-away pigs were font following them, after this they found a town stayed a while and then pig boy am his way back to England were he served his church and God. And one day he had a dream telling him that the Ireland people needed help, so after he finished school and became a bishop witch meant he had a lot of responceability and could preach to the people about God, his name was also changed agian to Patrick. so he went to ireland and preached about God to the people and through Patrick the people of Ireland tearned to God. God blessed Patrick as Patrick blessed the people, he lived a long and good life and at the age of 73 March 17th he died and the people he loved and the people that loved him decided to change his name once agian to Saint. Patrick. And this is why people all around the globe celebrate St. Patrick's day (March 17th) and wear green (the color of Ireland and shamrocks) to remember a man who loved ireland and loved God. See NO snakes!
