Corned beef and cabbage.

“A day of feasting, a reprieve from fasting, pinching your friends, and drinking green beer…Happy St. Patrick’s Day” Tomorrow marks the celebration of one of the best holidays. My favorite holidays are those which revolve around a meal I love to eat. St. Patrick’s Day falls into this category. I don’t really know much about Saint Patrick or why we wear green clothing so as to avoid being pinched or why we eat corned beef and cabbage or why we drink green beer; so, I Googled it. Saint Patrick was a man who was born and named Maewyn Succat during the 4th century in Great Brittan. When he was a teenager, he was kidnapped and forced to live as a slave in Ireland. He eventually escaped back to Great Brittan and studied for many years to become a priest. He chose Patrick as his Christian saint name. Thereafter, he returned to Ireland to spread Christianity throughout the country. He used a shamrock to teach the Irish about the Holy Trinity, hence the green.
