Having mixed feelings about celebrating St. Patrick’s Day because you’re not Irish? Don’t!
The actual man, Saint Patrick, was not born in Ireland. He was forced to leave his hometown and was imprisoned within the very country that honors his legacy. After escaping to freedom, he spent over a decade studying to become a bishop. Later, as a missionary, Saint Patrick felt that God himself called upon him to return to Ireland and spread the word. Today people from all over the world join the Irish in celebrating the culture and the patron saint who became the “Voice of the Irish”.
