Why is St. Patrick’s Day Celebrated? Saint Patrick’s day is in honor of the Patron Saint of Ireland, who brought christianity to the Emerald Isles, as Ireland is known, in the 400’s AD. It is truly a day of celebrating Irish history, ancestry, traditions and customs. It is said everyone claims to be a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Do you? How do you celebrate the day?
