Crosswalk: When he was a teenager, St. Patrick was kidnapped by Irish raiders and enslaved for six years. During this time, he turned to God in prayer, growing deeply in faith and trust.
St. Patrick’s Day is a time of celebration, reflection, and gratitude for the life and mission of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. He was a man of deep faith, courage, and perseverance, bringing the Gospel to the Irish despite facing slavery, persecution, and hardship.
As you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, plan to do more than wear green, go to a party, or visit an Irish pub. Make it a special day of prayer since St. Patrick made prayer a top priority throughout his life – and God answered his prayers powerfully.

Thank you for the background. Seems the origins of many of the Saints has been lost or intentionally ignored.

The Orange Irish and give me some whiskey instead of green beer.
In 1974 the menu on the enlisted mess deck of the Kitty Hawk for St. Patrick’s Day was for everything green. When I went to eat chow the sight of all that green food made me feel ill and I turned around and skipped chow till the next meal. There was just something about totally green food that was totally unappetizing.
