The History Behind St. Patrick’s Day 

St. Patrick’s Day is an observance of the death of St. Patrick, who was the patron saint of Ireland. It originally began as a religious feast day in the 17th century, but it has evolved into a variety of festivals and events across the globe. These festivals celebrate Irish culture and include things like special foods, dancing and music, parades, and of course, a whole lot of green. St. Patrick wasn’t actually Irish. According to History.com here is the history of St. Patrick.
387: Patrick is born – in Britain, not Ireland.

403: At age 16, Patrick is kidnapped and sent to Ireland as a slave.
409: Patrick escapes.
432: Believing he’d been called to spread the word of God, Patrick returns to Ireland.
434 – 435: Patrick sees success converting the Irish to Christianity, reportedly baptizing 12,000 people in a single day near Killala.
Late 400s: St. Patrick dies.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day
