    It is the feast day of St. Patrick. All saints have feast days. Being that he is the patron saint of Ireland, it has become a cultural celebration day.

    Ireland was (at one time) mostly religious and mostly Catholic. So the entire nation celebrated St. Patrick's Day as a religious one. It has grown in to the popular drinking, green wearing day it is now and (much like Christmas) lost any resemblance to the religious significance it once held.

    March 17th is the day that St. Patrick is believed to have died. He was a pagan and then became a Christian and a great saint. He is believed to have driven the snakes out of Ireland.

    He wrote books and prayers. He was truly a saint and people would do well to remember this.
