Did you know Chicago dyes the Chicago River green every year for St. Patrick's Day? This video for kids will introduce you to a lot of facts you might not know about this fun holiday. The history of Saint Patrick's Day dates back to the 5th century. A man named Patrick was born in Roman England. At age 16, he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave. After his escape, Patrick later returned to Ireland as a missionary. He played a crucial role in converting the Irish people to Christianity. March 17 is believed to be the date of his death, so it has been marked in his honor ever since.

Today, Saint Patrick's Day has evolved into a major public festival celebrated globally. Large parades in cities like Dublin, New York, Chicago, and Boston fill the streets with floats, music, dancers, and performers. In addition to parades, there are activities, parties, concerts, and other events celebrating Irish culture. A unique part of the Saint Patrick's Day celebration is the "wearing of the green." This tradition is tied to Ireland's nickname, the Emerald Isle, and the green in the Irish flag.

Saint Patrick's Day is a festival that has grown from its religious roots into a global celebration of Irish culture. Whether it's attending a parade, wearing green, or enjoying Irish food, people worldwide come together every March 17 to celebrate the legacy of Patrick and the rich traditions of Ireland. It is a day full of fun, history, and pride for people of Irish descent and those who simply love Irish culture.
