1. The very first ST. Patrick’s Day parade wasn’t even held in Ireland… It was in New York in 1762.
2. St. Patrick isn’t even Irish himself, it’s believed that he was born in Wales.
3. The related color to the holiday was never green, it was always blue.
4. The Saints name was never Patrick…. His original name was Maewyn Succat.
5. St. Patrick is known for banishing all the snakes on the island… but there weren’t many to begin with because it was too cold to live in Ireland after the Ice Age.
