Few people may know the actual story of this traditional holiday! Patrick was born in Scotland around 380 AD. He was captured and sold into slavery in Ireland, where he became a Christian. After escaping captivity, he returned home, only to return BACK to Ireland to preach the message of the Gospel! Woah!! He died around 460 AD after serving his captors, the Calts and Druids, for many, many years. Actually, Patrick used the 3-leaf shamrock to illustrate the Trinity! Neat huh?
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
