Wishing everyone a Happy St Patrick's Day. Since we are not able to share a toast today - we thought we would share some FUN FACTS about Traditions. ENJOY!

1. Who was St. Patrick?
St. Patrick — brace yourself — was not actually Irish. Patrick was a nobleman born in about 400 A.D. in Britain and kidnapped by Irish pirates at the age of 16, said Philip Freeman, author of St. Patrick of Ireland: A Biography.

2. Green River in Chicago is a family affair:
Another unique tradition that has grown in popularity every year is the annual dyeing of the Chicago River for St. Patrick's Day. The Butler and Rowan family clans are responsible for turning the murky water bright green, and they've done it for more than 50 years.

3. Parades
In the United States, St. Patrick's Day was first celebrated with banquets at elite clubs in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga., Meagher said. New York City hosted the first St. Patrick's Day parade in 1762, and by the mid-19th century parades were common, he said.

4. Shamrocks
Legend has it that St. Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain the Christian Holy Trinity.

5. Gobs and gobs of Guinness:
The Irish stout is the drink of choice on St. Patrick's Day. On a typical day, Americans drink about 600,000 pints of the Dublin-based beer. But on St. Patrick's Day, about 3 million pints of Guinness are downed, according to Guinness in an email to USA TODAY Network.

6. Leprechauns
The first recorded mention of a leprechaun goes back to the 8th century, coming from the word luchorpán, meaning "little body" to describe water spirits, according to John and Caitlin Matthews in The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures.
