Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world’s most popular saints.
Apostle of Ireland, born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387; died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 461.
Everytime I read the Saint Patrick story, the “where he was from” part changes. I was taught as a child that he was born in Northern Africa, in an area that was owned by Italy. It makes sense that this was version that stuck with me being mostly black and Italian. I guess no one really knows for sure…
Today I am making corned beef and cabbage and potato rolls, and maybe some Irish Soda Bread if I have time between sick kids…I like being “festive”.
