Growing up I never even knew what St. Patrick's day was. All I knew it was a holiday where we had to dress up in green to avoid getting pinched at school. Little did I know it's was something totally different. For anyone who doesn't know, here is a short version.
At age fourteen, Patrick, a Scot born sometime around 385, was captured by Irish raiders and forced into slavery. Patrick later escaped and was reunited with his family, but in a dream felt called by God back to Ireland. He preached the gospel and built churches throughout the country until his death on March 17, 461.
For the modern-day Irish, St. Patrick's Day is thought of as a time for spiritual renewal as they fondly remember the slave-turned-evangelist who spread Christianity to the Emerald Isle.
Hope everyone enjoys their St. Patrick's Day with their families.
