St Patrick's Day 2016: Who was Ireland's Patron Saint and how are people celebrating? While many see St Patrick's Day as an excuse to drink endless pints of Guinness while wearing a green wig, there's a little more to it than that. So who was St Patrick? St Patrick was a real man who was born in around 385 AD. He may be thought of as Irish now, but his exact birthplace is unknown. In his teens, he was captured by pirates and taken to Ireland, where he was put to work as a herdsman. After six years, he managed to escape and possibly fled back to his home. He spent the next 30 years establishing schools, churches, and monasteries across the country. Patrick was later appointed as successor to St Palladius, the first bishop of Ireland. He is said to have died on March 17 in the year 461. The flag of St Patrick is a red saltire on a white background. When the 1800 Act of Union (which came into effect from 1 January 1801) joined Great Britain and Ireland, the saltire was added to the British flag to create the Union flag which is still used by the United Kingdom.

True story behind All Souls' Day and All Saints' Day, why we celebrate and terrifying facts Tucked between the cold nights of winter and the falling leaves of autumn we have Halloween - a time of celebration and superstition. But where did the spooky day come from and why do we celebrate it? The spookiest time of the year isn't just a time for kids to dress up and trick or treat. It's thought Halloween started with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would wear costumes and roam to ward of ghosts, but it's down to Pope Gregory III's decree in the eight century that we celebrate it as we do. Why do we celebrate Halloween? Samhain (sow-in) marked the end of summer and the harvest and heralded in the colder months. Traditionally people wore costumes, animal skins and heads and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. The first was Feralia, a day late in October where Romans marked the passing of the dead. It was in 609 AD that Christianity changed the festival to add praying for the dead. The next day, November 2, is All Souls Day, when the dead are remembered. 1. 2.
