St. Patrick's Day Beer
Despite being a commemorative date of the Catholic Church, St. Patrick's Day is marked by beer and other elements... St. Patrick respected the people's own culture in order to evangelize, which may explain the choice of beer and other elements.
Incredible as it may seem, St. Patrick was born in Great Britain (England), kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave to Ireland. He made his life more religious and felt a call to return to Ireland. So, the St Patrick's Day origin in Ireland.
Origin of St. Patrick's Day
In order to convert the Celtic peoples into Catholics, Patrick adopted the strategy of adapting some symbols. He united the Catholic Cross with the Solar Cross to create the Celtic Cross, used to this day on the feast of St. Pratrick's Day. As a result, the Celtic people became more religious.
