Default Saint Patricks Day, yet St Patrick was not Irish?

I wonder how many people here actually knew that?

It's not where Saint Patrick came from ... it's what he did for Ireland that they remember him and honor him for.

They kidnapped him and brought him to Ireland to tend to their sheep. He promised God that he would come back if God would help him escape.

From what I have heard he just walked down to a ship and sailed back home to England.

He surely fulfilled his promise to come back.

My fathers father came from Ireland that's why I always love jesting with Tchocky.

He's the closest person I can find to being an Irish brother

Happy Saint Patricks Day to you all ...

Can't believe I missed this post

All the best, geetrue.


I spent St Patricks Day in the library, didn't even notice until I was on my home that night.
Ah, academia.
