why do we wear green on st. Patrick's Day

Past simple

today I wanted to talk to you guys about a holiday that is celebrated all around

the world it's called st. Patrick's Day and on st. Patrick's Day you know people

wear green and they're celebrating Ireland and they you know like they eat

corned beef and cabbage and it's like this big big deal and you know I like

st. Patrick's Day because well I'm already green but I was wondering you

know what is st. Patrick's Day actually you know who even is st. Patrick he's

not a leprechaun so I decided to look it up I wanted to know who st. Patrick was

it turns out st. Patrick was a missionary who lived like 1500 years ago

like in the fifth century AD and here's kind of like a really brief synopsis of

his life see he started in a Christian family but he wasn't a Christian himself

it's just his family was Christian and he got kidnapped by pirates

like for real he got kidnapped by pirates and he got taken to Ireland and

sold as a slave and so he lived in Ireland as a slave for several years and

while he was there you know he remembered the stories that he heard of

Jesus and he became a Christian and at some point he found an opportunity to

escape so he ran away and he went back to his home you know he left Ireland you

know if it was me I would have been like oh I'm so glad to be away from Ireland

where I was a slave I'm never ever ever going back and if I do go back it's

gonna be like with an army to get revenge but no he went back home and he

you know stayed there for a little while but he got the support of the church and

he went back to Ireland to work as a missionary to tell people about Jesus

and it said that he used a three leaf clover to explain the Trinity to the

Irish people you know the the Trinity the Father Son Holy Spirit the One True

God three in one and that's one of the reasons why we see three leaf clovers

all over the place on st. Patrick's Day sometimes we call that three leaf clover

a shamrock and you know Ireland is awesome and a big part of st. Patrick's

Day is you know celebrating Ireland in the Irish people I totally think we

should celebrate Ireland because Jesus loves Ireland and Jesus loves you

wherever you are and you know the green I think is is just you know they call it

the Emerald Isle Ireland's called the Emerald Isle and

Emerald is a green color so that's probably why we work

Jesus loves Ireland Jesus loved Ireland so much that he sent Saint Patrick to

them to tell them the good news but yeah he went back to Ireland and he

told people about Jesus and I read that he started more than 300 churches and

baptized more than a hundred thousand people that's crazy

and these were the people that enslaved him and there's all kinds of other

interesting things that he's credited as doing you know some cool miraculous

things but for me the fact that he went back to the people who enslaved him and

he told them about Jesus he told them what was most important for them to hear

even though they were mean to him man that's something to celebrate that's

something to strive for Saint Patrick told the people who were mean to him the

good news of Jesus Christ and God used him to save so so so many people so my

challenge to you guys today is that you would remember what is really important

this st. Patrick's Day and that you would share the good news of Jesus Christ with

everyone even people who are mean to you just like st. Patrick did

hey guys I hope you liked this video and hey happy st. Patrick's Day yeah st. Patrick's Day

you know we're celebrating Saint Patrick and Ireland and the Irish people and

that's really cool and I want to hear from you guys

I want to hear where you are from because I know there are people who

watch my videos all over the world and that is so cool

I think it's so cool that we're all a part of the same body of Christ all over

the world doesn't matter if you're Irish or Japanese or Australian or or you're

from you know Uganda or you're from Israel or Honduras you know all over the

world we're all part of the same body of Christ and God loves all of us so I want

to hear in the comments where are you watching this video from
