Unraveling the myth behind St. Patrick's Day

Judy T. Mire — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:41:14 -0600

St. Patrick’s Day encompasses much more than just green beer and pinching.
On March 17th the death of St. Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint, is celebrated.
Contrary to popular belief, St. Patrick was not Irish; instead, he was of English descent. Kidnapped from Wales at the age of 16, St. Patrick arrived in Ireland where he was sold into slavery. After six years of captivity, St. Patrick managed to escape home to Britain.
