Saint Patrick was born in 387 A.D. in Britain as Maewyn Succat. His father Calphurnius was a Roman official. Saint Patrick was kidnapped at age 16 and sold into slavery in Ireland, according to his autobiography .He escaped by boat to Britain after six years of captivity and traveled to St. Martin's monastery in Tours, France, where he studied under Saint Germain of Auxerre and became a priest. In 431 A.D. Pope Celestine I named him Patricius and sent him on a mission to Ireland. In 432 A.D he arrived in Ireland and successfully converted the island from Druidism (pron. DREW-id-ism) to the Christian faith. He wrote The Confession defending his life of service and also wrote A Letter to Coroticus attacking slavery and denouncing British King Coroticus for kidnapping and enslaving his converts. These works are the only documents to have survived the fall of Rome and are in the Bibliothèque National in Paris. (12) Saint Patrick became primatial bishop in 455 A.D. at Ard Macha, a hill away from Emain Macha (pron. EV-n MA-ha), seat of the Ulster (pron. ULL-stir) Kings. Saint Patrick died on March 17th 461 A.D. The date of his death is disputed between March 8th and March 9th, so they were added together.Today Saint Patrick is revered by many christian denominations and he is the official saint of the Church of Ireland. Many people go to sacred wells, mountains, and placenames in his honor throughout the year. (3, 5, 26)
Toasts Here's to absent friends and here's twice to absent enemies.
Here's to the light heart and the heavy hand.
Thirst is a shameless disease so here's to a shameful cure.
Here's to a wet night and a dry morning.
May we always have a clean shirt, a clean conscience, and a bob in the pocket.
May you be across Heaven's threshold before the old boy knows you're dead.

Thanks pubmom,
The WFTD crowd got it right off. I always feel bad when I have to explain one of my jokes.
Perhaps, you are both more familiar with the first Irishman to be seen every spring? He goes by the name of Paddy O'Furniture.

I had no idea who she is.

Her latest movie was 1991. Night of the Warrior, a story about the brutal world of illegal kickboxing, Miles is one fight away from financial freedom. When his promoter reneges on the deal, kidnaps his girlfriend and frames him for murder Miles face the fight of his life.
I wonder what she plays, Miles' grandma?

Have you been on an extended vacation, or just had your internet connection restored, or where have you been?
You are a very funny lady. Stay here, and pay your phone bills. We need your presence. ;-)
