Good Morning! A poem for you...?

Question:What is this day going to bring
promise of jollies
promise of green

St. Patty's Day people will sing
of the food and good beer
but what's it really mean?

I know the truth of this day
not corned beef and cabbage
or a full night of play

Or is there more
that's going untouched
I ask if you know...please share it with us

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Do you know the meaning of this day? Please share.

My meaning of Saint Patrick Day
is this got started in Ireland
from someone named Patrick
who drove away the snakes
which would cause evil
The shamrock has three leaves
and it named for the trinity
God the son and the holy spirit.

Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig), colloquially St. Paddy's Day or Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa 385–461 AD), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.

The day is the national holiday of Ireland. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland, and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Montserrat, and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the rest of Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.

It became a feast day in the Roman Catholic Church due to the influence of the Waterford-born Franciscan scholar Luke Wadding[1] in the early part of the 17th century, and is a holy day of obligation for Roman Catholics in Ireland. The date of the feast is occasionally moved by church authorities when March 17 falls during Holy Week; this happened in 1940 when Saint Patrick's Day was observed on 3 April in order to avoid it coinciding with Palm Sunday, and is happening again in 2008, being observed on 15 March.[2] March 17 will not fall during Holy Week again until 2160.[3]~

By driving the snakes out the metaphor to me means he brought christianity to Ireland by converting many of the non christian faiths. I am sure he might have enjoyed a pint to two along the way. Nicely said.
