| 1265557 | 2012-03-17 21:22:00 | What was so special about St Patrick for him to become the most celebrated saint in the world? None of my friends knew why we celebrate St Patrick's Day, so I looked it up on Wikipedia & found he isn't even Irish - just a British missionary working in Ireland. |

| 1265560 | 2012-03-17 22:09:00 | It appears that the Irish are celebrating the life of a Welshman. Two authentic letters from him survive, from which come the only universally accepted details of his life.[7] When he was about 16, he was captured from Wales by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After entering the Church, he returned to Ireland as an ordained bishop in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland. en.wikipedia.org |

Ireland is the only place in the British Isles where there are no snakes. St Patrick was the man that is reputed to have rid Ireland of snakes which is one of the reasons why the day is celebrated. But then the Irish don't really need an excuse to party - if the craic is good the Irish will party. |
