Happy St Patrick’s Day y’all.
Even though he’s the patron saint of Ireland, Patrick was a Scot.
St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world’s most popular saints.
Apostle of Ireland, born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387; died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 461.
Along with St. Nicholas and St. Valentine, the secular world shares our love of these saints. This is also a day when everyone’s Irish.
There are many legends and stories of St. Patrick, but this is his story.
Patrick was born around 385 in Scotland, probably Kilpatrick. His parents were Calpurnius and Conchessa, who were Romans living in Britian in charge of the colonies.
Even though he’s a Scot, I’ll forgo the scotch tonight in favor of some Guiness and maybe a wee dram of Bushmill’s.
