Irish you a happy St. Patrick’s Day!

It’s finally the time to make use of your “Kiss me, I’m Irish” T-shirts, as people all over the world are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day today! Even Google Doodle is ringing in the festive spirit, going all green with its new Doodle in honor of the Feast Day of Saint Patrick.

Practically, this is a sort of religious festival that signifies the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, but in the United States of America, it has become a day of eating Irish stew, drinking Guinness, and playing bagpipes in parades.

In case you didn’t know, Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, who brought Christianity to the country. As the famous saying, “everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day,” St. Patrick wasn’t Irish at all. Actually, he was born in Roman Britain and not Ireland! At the age of 16, he was taken prisoner by Irish raiders and sold to today’s

Northern Ireland as a slave. He worked really hard as a shepherd, but he didn’t lose his religious beliefs during these unsurvivable times. He went on to preach Christianity in the country through confirmation and baptism.

Even after hundreds of years of his death, there are many stories and myths about this religious personality, including the popular story that Saint Patrick was the one to drive out all the snakes from Ireland. Yes! There are literally no snakes in the country!

To help you get into the festive spirit, we have rounded up a list of St. Patrick’s Day quotes, images, cards, jokes, puns and décor:
