Click on the post title for some history of the St. Patrick's day holiday.
St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity's most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat of a mystery. Many of the stories traditionally associated with St. Patrick, including the famous account of his banishing all the snakes from Ireland, are false, the products of hundreds of years of exaggerated storytelling.The History Channel online shares the story here: History
My friend Jaydene shared this Irish Blessing:
Warm be the love that surrounds you,
Good be your friends, and true,
Constant be hope and promise,
Useful the work that you do --
Close be your family around you,
Good health be yours day by day
Long be the life that you're living
And full of much joy on the way.
