As you enjoy the Shimmering Shamrock cocktail, find out if you know the these St. Patrick’s Day facts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland.<\/li>
  2. We celebrate St. Patrick\u2019s Day on March 17 because it is believed that St. Patrick died on March 17 in the 5th century – perhaps 461 A.D.<\/li>
  3. St. Patrick was baptized with the name Maewyn Succat .<\/li>
  4. As a teenager St. Patrick was kidnapped by Irish pirates and taken to Northern Ireland. Several years later he escaped and was able to return to Britain where he was born<\/li>
  5. St. Patrick most likely did not drive the snakes out of Ireland. It is believed that no snakes were in Ireland at that time.<\/li>
  6. St. Patrick decided to return to Ireland to evangelize the people. He spent about 40 years in Ireland.<\/li>
  7. It is believed that St. Patrick used the 3- leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity. However, no written evidence of this existed until the early 1700s. Over the many years, did the 3-leaf clover legend pass down verbally?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
