🇮🇪 ST. PATRICK’S DAY: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE GREEN PARTY
St. Patrick wasn’t actually Irish—he was kidnapped from Britain in the 4th century and enslaved in Ireland.
He later escaped, became a priest, and returned to spread Christianity.
The first U.S. St. Patrick’s Day parade was in New York City in 1762.
Irish immigrants used the holiday to celebrate their culture and gain acceptance in America.
Chicago dyes its river green, people wear shamrocks, and celebrations now happen worldwide.
Want good luck? Find a four-leaf clover—they’re real, but super rare!
