Irish Attitude

An interesting collection of St. Patrick trivia for you to enjoy and share.

* For starters, the real St. Patrick wasn't Irish. He was born in Britain around A.D. 390

* He was captured as a young man for the slave trade and escaped 6 or seven years later.

* He converted to Christianity and then returned to Ireland.

* Spends the rest of his life in Ireland trying to convert the Irish to Christianity.

* Patrick Died March 17, 461.

*Mythology grew about Patrick and centuries later he is made the patron saint of Ireland.

* According to lore St. Patrick used the three leaves of the Shamrock (Trifolium dubium), the wild-growing, three-leaf clover to explain the Christian holy trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

* One St. Patrick myth is the claim that he banished snakes from Ireland. It's true no snakes exist on the island today, but they never did.

*The celebration for St. Patrick's Day was basically invented in America by Irish-Americans.Until the 1970s, St. Patrick's Day in Ireland was a minor religious holiday.

*34 million Americans have Irish ancestry, according to the 2003 US Census. That's almost nine times the population of Ireland, which has 4.1 million people.

The harp is the symbol of Ireland. The color green is also commonly associated with Ireland, also known as "the Emerald Isle.

The Irish flag is green, white and orange. The green symbolizes the people of the south, and orange, the people of the north. White represents the peace that brings them together as a nation.

One estimate suggests that there are about 10 000 regular three-leaf clovers for every lucky four-leaf clover.
