The reason St. Patricks Day is celebrated is because St. Patrick spent thirty years building and setting up monastries and places of worship all around Ireland, and as anyone who has been to Ireland will know, religion is a big part of being Irish. St. Patrick was a fifth-century English missionary to Ireland. Scholars agree he is a historical figure and that he converted many of the pagans on the island to Christianity.
