St Patrick's Day

If you give birth today, it would be nice to name your child, Patrick.
And for all you Patricks out there, happy feast day.

That said, do you know the story of St Patrick?

No saint: The legend of St Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland, isn't what it seems, an expert says


If you don't, read up his story here and here.

Just today, I came accross an article that says his legend (especially the one about casting snakes out of ireland) is just a little over-rated. The article says that he was a runaway tax-collector, turned slave.
Read it yourself here

Regardless, St Patrick's day is celebrated on the 17th of March, every year, within and outside Ireland and the Catholic Liturgical Calendar. So, once again, Happy St Patrick's day.
