Reach for your best green outfit and get ready for a day and night of Irish fun. We are all Irish on St Patricks Day. The best St. Patrick’s Day quotes work great as holiday toasts while teaching a bit of St. Patrick’s Day history. St Patricks Day is so much more than a holiday for beer and whiskey.
It starts with the saint whose name is not Patrick, it is actually Maewyn Succat and he is British but known by many names. Succat was born in Roman Britain in the late 300s AD. He was kidnapped and brought to Ireland to be a slave at the age of 16 years old.
Succat escaped slavery and returned around 432 AD to convert the Irish to Christianity. There were schools, monasteries, and churches that were all built by Succat and the legends surrounding him. They say he ran all of the snakes out of Ireland and that he used a shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
Succat died on March 17th, 461 AD and that is why we celebrate him on this day. Irish immigrants brought the celebration of Succat to America and St Patricks Day quotes as well. St Patricks Day is meant to be a holiday that celebrates Succat or Patrick, the man who brought Christianity to Ireland.
