Se dice que el Día de San Patricio se remonta al siglo V, para conmemorar la muerte de San Patricio, un santo y clérigo que nació alrededor del año 390 d.C. y murió en 461 d.C. Patricio nació en una familia real en la Gran Bretaña romana y fue llevado como esclavo a Irlanda a la edad de 16 años. Su fe en Dios durante su tiempo en Irlanda y su posterior escape a lo que ahora es Francia lo llevaron a convertirse en santo y clérigo.
Alrededor del año 431 d.C., regresó a Irlanda para difundir el cristianismo. Se dice que San Patricio murió el 17 de marzo de 461, y el Día de San Patricio conmemora el día de su muerte. Hasta el siglo XVII, este día era solemne y sereno, pero desde entonces comenzó a cambiar gradualmente su significado, convirtiéndose en un día de celebración de la cultura irlandesa.
Según los registros históricos, el primer evento de este tipo en los Estados Unidos se llevó a cabo para mostrar solidaridad entre los irlandeses estadounidenses. Hasta este punto, el símbolo del Día de San Patricio siempre había sido un trébol azul de tres hojas, pero con el tiempo el color cambió a verde, simbolizando el paisaje verde esmeralda de Irlanda.
¡Feliz Día de San Patricio para todos!

St. Patrick's Day is said to date back to the 5th century, to commemorate the death of Saint Patrick, a saint and clergyman who was born around 390 AD and died in 461 AD. Patrick was born into a royal family in Roman Britain and was taken as a slave to Ireland at the age of 16. His faith in God during his time in Ireland and later escape to what is now France led him to become a saint and clergyman.
Around 431 AD, he returned to Ireland to spread Christianity. It is said that Saint Patrick died on March 17, 461, and St. Patrick's Day commemorates the day of his death. Until the 17th century, this day was a solemn and somber day, but since then it gradually began to change its meaning, becoming a day of celebration of Irish culture.
According to historical records, the first such event in the United States was held to show solidarity among Irish Americans. Until this point, the symbol of St. Patrick's Day had always been a blue three-leaf clover, but over time the color changed to green, symbolizing the emerald landscape of Ireland.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!
