Chicago, 3rd largest city in the United States

Chicago, now the third largest United States city, was once destroyed by a fire of uncertain origin. It hosts an annual St. Patrick’s Day parade and offers tourists multiple attractions and experiences.

Who was St. Patrick?

Saint Patrick was not born in Ireland, but in Scotland to Roman parents. Taken as a slave to Ireland, he lived there, escaped, and later returned as a missionary, taking the Christian Gospel to Ireland.
