A Wee Bit ‘o History: St. Patrick’s Day
Who Was St Patrick?
In sharp contrast to the lively – often raucous – celebrations of his namesake holiday, St. Patrick’s life was anything but sunny skies and rainbows. At the age of 16 he was kidnapped from his home in Roman Britain and endured slavery in Ireland for six years. Though he managed to flee, he later returned to Ireland to spread Christianity. He is credited with founding schools, churches, and monasteries around Ireland.
Originally celebrated as a Catholic feast holiday, St. Patrick’s Day is now observed with more emphasis on Irish culture, music and spirit.
Fun Fact!
Did you know that St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t always associated with that o’ so lovely natural green? Originally, the holiday was celebrated with blue! The change was driven by the Irish themselves who deemed green to be a better representation of Ireland and their rebellion against British rule.
