Just for the record, I am Irish, and anyone who insults the Irish I'll be happy to invite you outside for a four letter word. But I have this urgent question. From my understanding of the leggend of St. Patrick, he was from England, and was therefore english. I have heard a story that he was actually greek, which makes no sense to me. Please explain if you can.

I'm Irish too, you alcoholic bastard! Hahaha.
I heard he was an Irishman. But many Catholic saints never were real people, so it's hard to tell if St. Patrick ever existed at all.

I quite have twin citizenship. i like it nicely adequate different than for the complaining by some Irish on right here approximately how "people have ruined it". people of Irish background all over the area rejoice St. Patrick's yet a technique or the different each and every thing is people fault. The Irish even copied the people parade. there have been no drunken violent riots in the US on St. Paddy's this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. Dublin and Belfast can no longer say the comparable. once you're assigning blame for the cheapening of your holiday, do no longer overlook yourselves. Eamonn Forde has a factor.

Yes, he was English. He was a slave in Ireland and when he escaped, back to England, he felt that he needed to become a priest and Chrstianize Ireland. Which he did.

Outside for a 4 letter word? You may get a few replies from the GLBT boards.
He was from Wales, but may have been of Roman ancestry.

St Patty was a Roman servant who found God and was freed in England. He went on to evangelize the tribes of Ireland. The rest is history. Have a wonderful Holiday.

I always understood that he was probably from Greece, and came to Ireland from Germany.
