What exactly is St. Patrick’s day?

What exactly is St. Patrick’s day?

St. Patrick’s day is the one day a year that everyone is Irish right? It’s also a great day to have some fun and party! Most people celebrate St. Patty’s Day by going out and drinking and having a great time with friends and strangers alike. It is definitely a fun holiday that brings people together!

Do you have plans this St. Patrick’s Day? We think that it would be great fun to throw a party at home or go out with some friends (as long as you drink responsibly and have a designated driver). Odd Moe’s pizza would be happy to help you plan a great event! Something that is awesome about Odd Moe’s Pizza is that we do catering and delivery, the best part about us is that we deliver beer right to your home. We all know that is the key ingredient for a successful St. Patrick’s Day party!

The History Of St. Patrick’s Day

The History Of St. Patrick’s Day

We know what most people do on St. Patrick’s day but have you ever stopped and wondered why we celebrate it? What is the Origin of St. Patrick’s day? Saint Patrick is the patron Saint of Ireland. His birth name was Maewyn and he was kidnapped into slavery in Ireland, however he escaped and found a Monastery in France. He became Roman Catholic and went back to Ireland and a missionary to help spread Christianity. While in Ireland he helped abolish Pagan rites. While he is loved by many he is also known to have incited a massacre of Pagans. But because of his success in spreading Christianity the Catholic religion holds a feast every year on the day he died, March 17th.
