St. Patty's Day

Everyone should be so excited for St. Patrick's Day. I'm looking forward to eating corned beef and pinching my brothers when they don't wear green. The most important thing, though, is that we honor St. Patrick, which this day was named after. Patrick lived in Rome, but then he and his family moved to England because of his father's job. Ireland attacked and he was brought as a slave. He wasn't treated unfairly, but he was very lonely and wanted to return to his family. He decided to pray and he fell asleep. While he was asleep, a voice came to him telling him that he should escape and a boat would be waiting for him. Patrick guessed it was God and did as he was told. When he came back to England, his family wasn't there anymore and the city was destroyed. Patrick decided to focus on his religion, which was Christianity, more. He lived a peaceful life and learned much. The same voice came to him again and told him to teach the Irish about his religion. To prepare for this, Patrick learned about Christianity for 10 more years. He went to Ireland and taught them. Some people put him in jail, but he succeeded and built a church. Now, most Irish people are Christian and we celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
