St. Patrick... long story, let me find somebody else to tell it for me:

Some Background Info
St. Patrick: The patron saint of Ireland and the Irish, was born about 385 A.D. in Northern Wales. He studied religion in Europe to become a priest and bishop. He then brought Christianity to the Irish by teaching in Ireland for 29 years. According to early Irish tradition, he died on March 17, 461 AD. The anniversary of his death is celebrated as Saint Patrick's Day. St. Patrick is most known around the world as driving all the snakes out of Ireland through trickery.

The symbol of shamrocks: An Irish tale tells of how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.

Green is associated with Saint Patrick's Day because it is the color of spring, Ireland, and the shamrock.

Today St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17 by the Irish as well as many Canadians with parades, parties, wearing of green, Irish songs and jigs.

It needs to become a national holiday.

I find it how funny so many people to claim Irish heritage.  Of course, my great grandmother did move to New England from Ireland, but there has been much more added to the mix since then.  Hell, I dont even look half-irish.  You go to new mexico and see all the really tan kids and ask how many of them are irish, and I'm sure most of them would raise thier hands.

Are there no greek people out there?  How about swedish?  I only know one guy whos family is from Poland...

Vorter, St. Patrick's Day IS NOT a national holiday.  On national holidays, students and workers are given a day off.  Did any of you watch comedy central on St. Patties Day?

lol... yay religion war....

religion sucks... accept for a select few.. basicaly anything that isnt based around "the bible" meaning... muslims... jews... cristians(in all the forms)

granted every religion has a book... or bible.. or whatever but.. those 3 are based on the original jewish bible thing... yeah... which is totaly fu<ked... considering all they ever do is kill eachother

i figure... almost every war... starts with religion in some respect... no religion = a hell of alot more peace

Ouch.  You don't have to like Christians, but please--that can start a flame war.
