COT: Today, is St. Patrick’s day, but who is St. Patrick? He was born into an English / Roman noble family, and was brought to Ireland at a young age where he worked as a slave. He escaped and returned to England where he joined the priesthood. Returning to Ireland, he set about converting the Irish people to Christianity. That’s your historical note to understand the stories behind our traditions.
