This was turned in by "Fluffy" St. patrick was a missionary to Ireland way back when. Though he had been enslaved and tortured by the Irish, he still showed them the catholic way of life, one to which they hold still today. The catholic church cannonized him and so he became St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. The tradition for the holiday (As with most saints is to takje the day off and celebrate with parties and feasts) When the masses of Irish imigrants came to the US in the late 1800's and early 1900's, they brought their patron saint with them. As the Irish had bad water, and, since they had little to do with a short growing season, they naturally drank large amounts of liquer. So the non-Irish thought that the holiday was just for having fun (And getting drunk!). So thats the origins of St. Patricks day, and the American version. So there, Fluffy
