Sometimes I wonder where our holidays actually come from. They get so modified over the ages from the integration of cultures, that we lose their original meaning and context (HELLOOOO Christmas...Easter!)
I had no idea who St. Patrick really was, so I updated my Facebook status to find out (and of course did a little research on my own.) Basically, we don't know much about him... he was a very successful missionary who converted the pagan Irish to Christianity. I've known a few missionaries. Will they all get their own holiday too?
Either way, THIS was by far my favorite explanation, brought to us by a gracious and good-humored Facebook friend of mine...
P.S. I totally forgot to wear green :(
