St. Patrick’s Day has been officially celebrated since the 17^th century as a way to honor St. Patrick, who was a patron of Ireland. Although St. Patrick was not Irish, he returned to the country after escaping the country from slavery to help spread the Christian religion. He is not credited with bringing the Christian religion to Ireland.

While St. Patrick’s Day is only celebrated on the 17^th in America, the holiday is celebrated from March 15^th through the 19^th at the St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Dublin, which is the capital of Ireland. During the Festival, there is a carnival, parade, dances, and a treasure hunt.

All of us at Cappuccino Insurance Agency in Westlake Village, California would like to wish you and your family a fun and exciting St. Patrick’s Day.
