you have my ancestors to thank for St. Pat's Day
one of them captured him and took him to Ireland in chains.
without which he probably wouldn't have preached in Ireland.

And, lustorlove, according to Thomas Cahill, it was through St. Patrick's
work and through the work of those who followed him in the Irish monastic tradition that
most of the great written works of Roman and pre-Roman civilization were saved.

For the Welsh, however,
St Patrick is also a source of pride as they claim the rights to his birthplace. All on big happy Gaelic family and.....Erin go bragh!

Patrick was born in
Roman Britain. When he was about sixteen he was captured by Irish raiders and taken as a
slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. He entered the church, as his father and grandfather had before him, becoming a
deacon and a
bishop. He later returned to Ireland as a missionary, working in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he actually worked and no link can be made with Patrick and any church. By the eighth century he had become the patron saint of Ireland. The Irish monastery system evolved after the time of Patrick and the Irish church did not develop the diocesan model that Patrick and the other early missionaries had tried to establish.

Fact:
St. Patrick wasn't even Irish - he was Welsh!
