Why? WHY???

Saint Patrick and his day.

In lieu of the date (3/17), I have decided to post some facts that I found interesting about the Saint Patrick.



I got most of this information from this source: Saint Patrick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Patrick was born at Banna Venta Berniae, Calpornius his father was a deacon, his grandfather Potitus a

priest. When he was about sixteen, he was captured and carried off as a slave to Ireland. Patrick worked as a

herdsman, remaining a captive for six years. He writes that his faith grew in captivity, and that he prayed

daily. After six years he heard a voice telling him that he would soon go home, and then that his ship was

ready. Fleeing his master, he travelled to a port, two hundred miles away he says, where he found a ship and,

after various adventures, returned home to his family, now in his early twenties.

He recounts a vision that he had after returning home:

I saw a man coming, as it were from Ireland. His name was Victoricus, and he carried many letters, and he

gave me one of them. I read the heading: "The Voice of the Irish". As I began the letter, I imagined in that

moment that I heard the voice of those very people who were near the wood of Foclut, which is beside the

western sea—and they cried out, as with one voice: "We appeal to you, holy servant boy, to come and walk

among us.

Not much other than that is interesting in his life (that I found) but for the fact that he didn't actually banish snakes from Ireland, because there were never any there at all, and that he is the patron saint for engineers (which I am in school hoping to become).



Now for some other stuff:



How to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day (source)

1. Know the history of St. Patrick's Day. Though history saw celebrations of feasts in his honor, St. Patrick's Day was not officially recognized until 1976. Saint Patrick has been credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland as well as being the man that rid the country of snakes.
2. Go green. You don't have to wear a sweater with a giant three or four-leaf clover (though that would certainly help you stand out).
   The great thing about this holiday is you are free to go as subtle or as wild as you like. T-shirts have been a common article of clothing to wear proudly.
3. Accessorize. Buttons, pins and jewelry are all great ways to dress up an outfit. On St. Patrick's Day, they become ways to express the fun side of fashion. Nothing is too gaudy or outlandish. Buttons with clever (or not so clever) sayings are also encouraged. Small shamrock pins are a great and subtle way to express your support of the holiday. Dying your hair or your pets' fur bright green is also a great way to stand out.
4. Eat traditional Irish food. Beer and spirits are not the only great "foods" to come out of Ireland. Corned beef (corned beef is not a traditional Irish meal, that tradition started in NYC), cabbage and lamb stew are tasty ways to "keep it real."
5. Play Music. Ireland has a long history with music, and many incredible styles have emerged. Celtic, folk and traditional Irish pub songs might just get you in the St. Patrick's Day spirit!
6. Attend local parades. If you can't make it to the five day festival in Dublin, Ireland, check out the scene locally. Though small towns aren't likely to have parades, many large cities such as New York City, Boston, St. Louis, San Francisco, Chicago, London and Sydney have great celebrations.
7. Listen to the radio. Popular radio stations will often be announcing their involvement in parties around your city to drum up buzz. If you haven't heard anything, call up the local stations and ask if they've heard any St. Patrick's Day news.
8. Check out the bar scene. Most bars and pubs love St. Patrick's Day. One of the few holidays that are marked for an increase in alcohol consumption, many will be catering to patrons. You may find special prices on draft beer, food and cover charges. Call around to your favorite joints and ask if they have any celebration plans.
9. Consider staying at home. If you aren't a fan of the bar scene but still want to celebrate, invite a few friends over and have a St. Patrick's Day themed party. Go as extreme or as laid back as you want: insist that everyone wear green or just have them come as they are and chill out with a few beers.
10. Be respectful. Because St. Patrick's Day has become a secularly practiced holiday, there may be people who feel offended by your green enthusiasm. This is why it is important that you understand why the holiday exists. Explain that you appreciate the early traditions of the holiday and that you aren't intending to dishonor those traditions - you are just trying to have fun.

And remember,
Michael Jackson is a terrorist. If you spot this smooth criminal

When all three top stories have "shot" as the second word in their titles, something is definitely wrong with this world.
