MAR 17, 26 (1 / 2).. ST. PATRICK’S DAY..
“Erin go Bragh!” Ireland Forever!
Another “No Brainer” NATIONAL TODAY Holiday..
Well, at least a “No Brainer” for me! My Mother’s Maiden Name was Casey! A Sirname doesn’t get much more Irish than that!
Patti and I really enjoyed Ireland when we spent a month or so on the Emerald Isle back in 2006.
All of the mental illness in my family was on the Irish side of my Ancestors.
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in more countries around the world than any other single-day National Festival.
The world’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebration is the annual parade in New York City, where more than two million spectators line the parade route, all claiming to be Irish, at least for the day.

St. Patrick was not an Irishman
He was born Maewyn Succat around 385 A.D., son of a Christian church deacon and wealthy family, in Britain, which was under the rule of the Roman Empire at that time.
He arrived in Ireland as a slave
The rich kid was kidnapped from Britain at the age of 16 by a band of raiders who enslaved him as a shepherd in Gaelic Ireland for six years, during which time he converted to Christianity.
He was a saint, but not really
Although he is known as Saint Patrick and is the most beloved of all patron saints of Ireland, he has never been formally canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church.
St. Patrick did not rid Ireland of snakes
He could not have done this because there have never been any snakes on the island nation of Ireland — this is a folklore legend.
Four-leaf clovers are never shamrocks
The four-leaf clover being lucky has nothing to do with St. Patrick — legend has it that St. Patrick used a green plant with three leaves, commonly called a shamrock, to teach the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity — only a three-leaf clover can be a shamrock.
