    St.Patrick's  celebrations initially began as a religious festival. Main chunk of the known information about St.Patrick was written by his own hand and titled' The Confession of St.Patrick . St. Patrick was born between 370 and 390 C. E. in the Roman Empire in Britain. His given name Magonus Sucatus and was changed to Patricius either after his baptism or after he became a priest. Colonial New York City hosted the first official St. Patrick's Day parade in 1762, when Irish immigrants in the British colonial army marched down city streets.
