The history of the holiday

So, why is it celebrated on March

17th? One theory is that St. Patrick died on March 17, AD 461. Though originally a Catholic holyday, St. Patrick's Day has evolved into more of a secular holiday. Or, rather, 'be an Irish Day '.

He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.
