RANDOM TIDBITS
St. Patrick is the patron Saint of Ireland, but he wasn't
Irish. Patrick was born in Britian (or possibly Wales). His
father was a wealthy alderman and a Christian. When Patrick
was 16 years old, pirates captured him during a raid and
sold him as a slave in Ireland.
***
Patrick didn't just convert the Pagans to Christianity. At
his instance, the traditional laws of Ireland were codified.
Patrick modified them to harmonize with Christian practice,
and he mitigated the harsher ones, particularly those that
dealt with slaves and taxation of the poor.
***
St. Patrick's Day became an official public holiday in
Ireland in 1903. Prior to that, it was only observed as a
religious holiday.

green ribbons in your hair.
