Along with that myth there is alos a true meaning to St. Patricks Day! St. Patricks Day also comes from the Irish or in other words Ireland.
The actual meaning of Saint Patricks Day is that the name saint Patricks Day comes from Saint Patrick the patron saint. He was the national apostle of Ireland who is credited with bringing christianity to Ireland. Patrick died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, on March 17, 460 A. D. Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck.
