St. Patrick's Day

Today being the supposed day St. Patrick died is more than a day for everyone to be Irish. St. Patrick himself was not Irish he was born in England. Kidnapped by pirates and enslaved he escaped and walked through out Ireland some say 400 miles to find a boat ride home. He was believed to be only about 16 at this time. He said God spoke to him to return to Ireland and preach his word. It has been said that St. Patrick baptized 300,000 people in Ireland a country with no belief in Christ at all. The silly tale of him driving the snakes from the country is ridiculous. There has never been any snakes in Ireland. So if you choose raise a pint today to a man that truly lived Christ's mission. In a country he was not from .
