St. Patrick's Day

Did you know that Saint Patrick was a Roman Britain-born Christian missionary and is the patron saint of Ireland along with Brigid of Kildare and Columba? When he was about sixteen he was captured by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. He entered the church, as his father and grandfather had before him, becoming a deacon and a bishop. He later returned to Ireland as a missionary in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked and no link can be made between Patrick and any church. By the eighth century he had become the patron saint of Ireland. The Irish monastery system evolved after the time of Patrick and the Irish church did not develop the diocesan model that Patrick and the other early missionaries had tried to establish.

Anyways, in honor of my wife's Irish ancestry, she made us a tasty meal of corned beef and cabbage, along with potatoes and carrots. And I'm not talking about the corned beef in a can that most Filipinos eat. This was the real corned beef. Did I mention that we also had green colored apple cider and green colored jello. Gone are the days of just wearing a green shirt...although we did do that as well. So does this now make me a Celtic?
