What is St Patrick's Day all about?
Whether you're Irish or not, it seems that many folks get into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. This feast day is celebrated this next week, March 17th. St. Patrick was born in roman Britain in the latter part of the 4th century. At the age of 16 he was kidnapped and then taken to Ireland as a slave. He did escape and then returned about 432 to convert the Irish to Christianity.
To all who are Irish, whether for a day or for a life-time, may the luck 'o the Irish be with you now and forever!
