Means "Ireland Forever" The tradition of St. Patrick's Day was first brought to Boston in 1737 to commemorate the death of this man. Followers wore shamrocks on feast day because Maewyn (St. Patrick) used them to explain the Holy Trinity and as far as the tale about him giving a sermon on a hilltop that drove out all of the snakes in Ireland, well... there have never been any snakes native to Ireland. But Guinness is made there:)
