March is the lucky month because of St. Patrick’s Day, but should it be considered important and a holiday? Do people actually celebrate this holiday? And if they do, how?
The history behind St Patrick’s Day goes back all the way to the early fifth century. A young man by the name of Patrick was taken into Ireland as a slave at the age of 16. He had escaped Ireland but then returned to Ireland to tell people about Christianity. While he talked about Christianity, he used a clover. He later died on March 17th, the day we celebrate him.

According to Camila Sambrano, Derek Morales, and Fabian Guterriez, St Patrick’s Day is important and should be celebrated because it celebrates the day that Patrick taught Christianity.
Genesis Zapata expressed the importance of St Patrick’s Day and should be celebrated because it represents that day an important person died.
Adrian Cerros claims “Yeah it is important because I think it’s to remember him teaching, I celebrate by wearing green.”
Some people don’t see St Patrick’s Day as a religious holiday and just see it as a day of wearing green.
“It should be considered a holiday because it’s an important day. I celebrate by wearing all green and lucky charms,” Jonathan Linares states.
Dominic Bikouvaris said, “It is important and should be a holiday because if you don’t wear green you can get pinched. I celebrate sometimes because my mom decorates the house green.”
