St. Patricks Day

Patrick grew up with his father and grandfather being deacons of a church. At the age of 16 he was kidnapped and enslaved in Ireland for 6 years where he said his faith grew tremendously. When he escaped to his home in Britain, he began studying to become a priest. Later in life he returned as a missionary to Ireland, and it is writen that "he baptized thousands". Later he became known as the patron saint of Ireland.
The holiday is not exactly celebrated the way it was when it first became an Irish holiday, and our family doesn't celebrate it the way most people do in America...
but we did wear green today.
