Born in Britain, Saint Patrick first arrived in Ireland as a slave. After six years of slavery, he escaped to France where he studied for the priesthood. In 432, he returned to Ireland, this time as a Christian missionary. Before we continue with our study of Ireland online, if you want to stop for some St. Patrick's Day fun, here's a

Happy St. Maewyn's Day? A St. Patrick's history primer St. Patrick's Day, March 17, is the feast day of Ireland's patron saint. As with all things Irish there's the truth of St. Patrick and the embellished truth. We leave it to you to find the blarney. According to historians, St. Patrick was born not in Ireland, but in Britain in 389 A.D. His given name is believed to have been Maewyn Succat. (Good thing he changed his name. St. Maewyn's Day just doesn't have the same ring.) When he was 16, he was kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery. For six years he was forced to work as a shepherd in Ireland. (Wonder if he got to wear one of those cool Irish-knit sweaters?). After a vision came to him directing him to a ship, Patrick escaped to France, where he became a priest. When he was in his 60s the time when most saints are retiring to work on their beatification papers another divine vision brought St. Patrick back to Ireland as a missionary. He is credited with converting the Irish to Christianity using Ireland's national symbol, the three-leafed shamrock, to teach the concept of the Holy Trinity. (Good thing he wasn't working with a four-leaf clover.) Legend tells us St. Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland, but biologists tell us there weren't any snakes in Ireland to drive out. He is also said to have exiled a dragon to a lake in Ireland until Judgment Day, though no one knows which lake the monster is in.

So what better timeI thoughtto throw the guitars in the back of the bus, and scrawl bloody names on the wall, than St. Patrick's Day? In order to fully understand and celebrate the Gaelic heritage, I decided that one must hear the voices of the father (Robert), the son (Patrick), and the holy spirit (Justin), as well as the mother (Claudia) whowhile not really Irish at allgave birth to me, so I owe her a couple of paragraphs too. Each toiled away at their musings on the Irish separately, and yet each came up with startlingly similar themes: alcohol and making fun of Germans. But if you go beyond the drinking and the racism, you get to the real heart of what it is to be Irish. I will leave that up to each reader to decide for themselves.

There is no doubt the memory carried over by our forefathers in remembrance to this great saint has left a big impression on their sons and daughters - but very few know the real story behind the wearing of the green, the shamrocks, and the green beer. We hope the following is both informative and enlightening on this holy and very influential holy man. "I am Patrick, a sinner, most unlearned, the least of all the faithful, and utterly despised by many. I was like a stone lying in the deep mire; and He that is mighty came and in His mercy lifted me up." St. Patrick Apostle of Ireland, born in the year 387, either at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, or from the village of Bannavem Taberniae. There is wide speculation as to the location of Bannavem Taberniae with scholars ascribing it to Cumberland, Carlisle or The Severn in England or to the Island of Anglesey. He died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17th March, 493. His given name was Maewyn, his parents were Calphurnius and Conchessa. The former belonged to a Roman family of high rank and held the office of decurio in Gaul or Britain. Conchessa was a near relative of the great patron of Gaul, St. Martin of Tours. Kilpatrick retains many memorials of Saint Patrick, and frequent pilgrimages continued far into the Middle Ages to perpetuate the fame of his sanctity and miracles.

Irish Crafts and Traditions Whether or not your ancestors were Irish it's fun to celebrate St Patrick's day with the traditional green of Shamrocks, good food, and decorations. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and was believed to have been born in what is now Scotland around 386. He is credited as using the three lobes of the Shamrock to teach the Holy Trinity. Today the plant is symbolic of the season and the shape can be used as coasters, place cards, place mats, or napkin rings. Use a clover plant as the centerpiece or any favorite greenery. Snakes and toads can also be used as decoration since St Patrick was also credited with driving them out of Ireland.

Patrick's Day as we know it is more of an American holiday than an Irish one. In the 18th century, Irish immigrants to the United States celebrated their common heritage on the holiday dedicated to Ireland's patron saint. Parades marking the occasion can be traced back to 1737 in Boston and 1762 in New York, although these were much simpler than they are today. Back then, St. Patrick's Day was not celebrated by most Americans. The holiday — and the Irish immigrants — were scorned by their neighbors. In the 1800s, brutal Penal Laws enacted by English rulers, coupled with the epic Potato Famine in Ireland, forced thousands of Irish emigrants to seek refuge in the United States. Between 1820 and 1920, 4.5 million Irish citizens emigrated to America. Most arrived with little but the clothes on their backs. In response to the massive influx of Irish immigrants, the Ku Klux Klan and the Know-Nothings, a national political party popular at the time, began to promote anger toward the Irish. Many job advertisements ended with the line, "No Irish Need Apply."

This year, throw a St. Patrick's Day bash! Sit down and plan the party with your child. We have some great suggestions to help you with the green theme, but your child might have some ideas that will surprise you. The Invitations How many children should you invite? A house full of preschoolers can get out of control if not entertained constantly. Becca Gladden, a party consultant for The Party Shop , suggests to base the number invited on your child's age. "A good rule-of-thumb is to invite one child for each year of the host child's age for example, five children for a 5-year-old. If you have more parent helpers at the party, you can safely invite about four children for each adult," says Becca. "Be sure you have enough adults on hand to keep things under control, or hire a neighborhood teenager as a party helper." Shamrock Invitations You'll need: Green construction paper Scissors Crayons or markers Draw a shamrock shape onto the construction paper. Help you child cut it out, then write all the information about your party on the shamrock.

Folklore The Saint Patrick's Cross Once upon a time the celebration of the pattern day or saint's day of the Saint of the people of the Island of Ireland united all who resided upon the island, no matter what their belief, in solemn prayer and thanksgiving. The focus of all was upon religion and upon the role of St. Patrick in bringing Christianity and protection to both the people and their Celtic Civilization. As a man from Dublin once told me "and yes, the protection of the Irish - no easy task!". Take a moment to return to that original spirit of the holiday and make a St. Patrick 's Day Cross. Then, if you have not already done so. Materials: 1.Any disk or square of cardboard will do. I use beer mats. Try to get the ones which are not printed on one side-if you can't get them you can paint printed ones white. 2.Green Fancy Ribbon-no more than about 1/2 inch wide -about 6-9 inches or about 3 times the width of the backing. 3.Images of symbols of Ireland-harps, shamrocks etc...(stickers are great or cut up old St. Patrick's Day Cards- but please! NO Leprechauns!!!
